I had a fantastic time staying at Teresa's place. She met me on arrival with her son Noah, and they showed me around her place. They both were so kind and friendly, which is exactly what you need after a long day of travel. The quality of the room for NYC is outstanding and it has many little amenities that make all the difference. The room is lockable so you can be sure your possessions are safe. The air-conditioning works well to keep the room cool. There is a TV mounted on the wall and its easy to cast whatever entertainment you like to the big screen. I also like the fact that all the necessary information was printed and displayed in the room. One of the biggest draw-cards is that the room is quiet, which is a rarity in NYC. The amount of space might be a concern if you're a couple and plan on spending a lot of time in the room, but for a solo traveler it's more than enough. Also, the entire apartment was spotless when I stayed there. The bathroom was immaculate and the kitchen was really clean. If you've been looking at rooms in NYC you know how overpriced (and often terrible) they are are. Teresa's place was perfect for me and I cannot recommend it more highly.
