Cynthia is a wonderful host! Friendly, helpful, did everything she could to make my stay comfortable, easy, and memorable. Her home is beautiful, albeit eccentric, and tip-top clean. The shower is great, I felt at home in the kitchen making tea and helping myself to cereal, the bed was very comfortable and linens exquisite and it's quiet quiet quiet at night. Location is great too -- an easy subway ride downtown, walkable to Guggenheim and Met, good restaurants in the hood, I felt fine walking home late at night too. I recommend it and would stay again.
