I went to NYC for a 8-day business trip by myself. The place is clean, tidy, and the location is quite convenient, safe, and very central. Marg was a welcoming host. She was very concerned about my daily activities and always gave advice. Thanks her for lending her gloves and boots to me during the snow. Some things to notice: The room doesn’t have lock, so it is not entirely private. The host will enter the room to use printer and dryer; The cat Mookie (it is cute though) sometimes kicked the litter out of his box which is put below the bathroom’s sink, so you may need to clean the floor before using the bathroom.
The host sits in the living room most of the time. I enjoyed listening to her stories when I took quick meals or used my laptop at the table. I appreciate that she shares a space of her home with guests. I always cleaned after myself and was careful about keeping the place clean. I recommend that the host to list all the things that she dislikes on the house manual, and I would appreciate it more if she pointed them out in a gentle voice. Maybe the host didn’t realize that her reminding sometimes sounded like yelling at her child which made me a little uncomfortable. I believe the experience would be wonderful with these improvements. I sincerely wish her a speedy recovery.
