Maya/Ann-Marie, I don't know who I was talking to half the time :)
These girls know how to host, if there was a bible on how to host, it would have to be written by this trio. Always on hand and a very friendly bunch.
The place was as described, comfortable, clean and very homely at the same time as being great value for money. The girls were very accomodating and leave you to your own devices, even though they are still present.
The location was ideal, with very good transport links, if you do visit I would suggest purchasing a weekly ~$30 pass. You can use that to go about without having to worry about topping it up etc. The neighbourhood appeared to be decent.
I felt very welcomed and they had plenty of local knowledge, so that was definitely helpful.
Should I return to NYC again, I would without a shadow of a doubt give these girls a shout. Better yet... I may just relocate and move in permanently :)
