Everything written about Sarah and her lovely place in the LES is a little less than the reality of finding an exceptional hostess who goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and pleased. Despite the considerable difference of age, my wife and I felt completely familiar and accommodated in her apartment. And yes, the room is really big and comfortable and the location is perfect if you want to stay in a neighborhood in NYC safe from the hordes of tourists but that at the same time, within a few stations of everything the Big Apple offers. Definitely a positive recommendation
