I had a wonderful time staying two nights at Véronique's Lower East Side apartment. It's in a lovely area full of great restaurants, cafes, bars, and awesome dessert shops. (If you have time go to Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream down the road, so good!). Véronique was a lovely host and made sure I was comfortable and was open if I had any questions or concerns. Also she has a cat who is a warm furball of cute.
