Nicole's place is located just a few minutes walk to the MET Opera House, which was perfect for me, especially since I returned from there at midnight with no issues whatsoever. Nicole was great from this point of view, it didn't bother her that I arrived so late at night! She is a great communicator, very reactive, and provided precise, detailed and easy instructions on everything related to her home. I didn't even get to see Simon, which is a shy dog, so even if you're not a dog person like myself you can still stay at Nicole's place without a problem.
One last thing, if it can be of interest to anyone, the room has no natural light (only a tiny window) but it didn't bother me, since I didn't stay there during the day. Also, the bathroom is shared (and was very clean)
Thank you again, Nicole, for sharing your home with me!
