Carol made me feel very welcome, she was relaxed and I could ask her anything about the area or NY in general. The apartment was a really good size, clean and quiet and in such a great area near Central Park, the museums, cafes, supermarkets, bars and restaurants.
I was traveling alone for the most part of the holiday so this was a perfect location and neighbourhood. The metro stop is really near and bus stop across the park and downtown.
It was just a really easy going and relaxing stay and when I return I shall come back to stay with Carol.
