As everyone has said, Cynthia's place is beautiful and she is great fun. I regret that I was out and about so much that I didn't have much time to chat. But that said, the place is perfect for social folks who want to get out and around. It's convenient to the subway, there are restaurants in the area, and the apartment is clean. Cynthia is a wonderful host. It's not the place for someone who wants to spend a great deal of time in their room alone. The room is small (but has plenty of room for all your stuff and a comfortable bed), and even with all the lights on, it's quite dark. But who goes to New York to stay in their room! The living room is wonderful and bright and comfortable, so if you have work to do you can sit in there. I'd definitely stay here again.
