Carol was a lovely host and I hope to stay with her many times again. Her location in the Upper West Side was convenient to everything I enjoyed during my stay. The bedroom was amazingly quiet. No street noise. Anything I needed during my week was close by: 24 hr. CVS on one corner and Starbucks on another. The best TJ Maxx store I ever entered was in easy walking distance when I had to buy a new carry-on. I highly recommend Carol's home!
