My friend and I stayed for 16 days at Gina`s place. Once we stepped into the unit, we got amazed by the way the place was arranged , cleaned and well-prepared to receive the new guests .We felt home from the very beginning ,the thing that made our spirits quite high till the end of the trip and gave us a sense of relief and comfort ,something we badly needed at that time because it was our first visit to New York .We found lots of food items in the fridge and shelves with a note from Gina asking us to use these items as a hospitality from the host, we also found two tickets for theater and two more tickets for a concert ,in addition to a bus and metro card loaded with a very considerable amount of money on and ready to use something we never expected. Gina is a very organized lady as she puts a note on every single thing in the unit to make everything easily accessible. Honestly ,she is exceptionally amazing host .she is very accommodating and welcoming along with her husband Mr. G who used to meet us with a big smile on his innocent face and their very helpful son Chris. She also used to check on us occasionally to make sure that everything is OK. This adds up to the big advantage of the location that happened to be within reach of nearly everything ( public transport , food markets , parks , health care center and many other utilities).I will never think of an alternative to Gina`s place , if I intend to visit new York again either by myself, with a friend or with my family. Gina`s place is a real home and she is a professional host.
