I had the most comfortable stay with Nicole and Simon! It was so much more of a homey experience than a hotel - but of course with all of the necessary amenities including a fantastic AC to myself! It was a very safe neighborhood, I was able to go for some nice late night summer walks. Nicole was so accommodating and gave me suggestions as to where to go/what to do. Simon, her little pup is an absolute delight and I'll miss him dearly! I'll definitely be hoping to stay with them again the next time I'm in NYC.
