My stay at Greer's place was good. Inwood in in Northern Manhattan, but convenient to transportation. Her apartment is large and bright. The building was clean and I felt secure. The bed was comfortable and though Greer was not there, she provided a very nice and welcoming environment. The flat is on the 4th floor, which in NYC means a 5 flight walk up. This was difficult with a suitcase, more so if you have more luggage. The neighborhood is very diverse, and like any urban city, you need to be aware. There are no cabs in this area, but good safe car services, very reasonable, can pick you up in five minutes for less than a metered cab. Greer's cats were sweet and friendly.
