I couldn't have had a more enjoyable stay. Christine is an awesome host and the apartment is so well-located I mastered the metro (with Christine's help) in no time and felt totally confident as a lone female traveler finding my way around New York.

The room itself is lovely and comfortable with lots of character and felt very 'New York'.. perhaps a bit noisy outside at night if you're looking for a peaceful resting place, but you literally roll out of the door onto the 'red 1 subway line' so if you want to experience the city in all it's 24-hour glory you can't pick a better spot.

The final word has to go to Dempsey, who is a beautiful lion of a cat and full of character. He's not a lap cat leaving hair all over the place (a big plus for me, even as a cat-lover!), but definitely runs the house and I fell in love with him! :)
