Melanie was an amazing host. Why is she so amazing you might ask? She and I never got to meet in person, despite being in the same apartment. She was still very communicative through text messages, provided me with toiletry items and snacks, even refilled my water on my nightstand. This tiny attention to detail made her stand out to me in a big way. I left my snacks out overnight and the next day she put them in a plastic bag for me so they wouldn't go stale. What a thoughtful gesture.
Other perks, Grand Central park is 3 blocks away, the sub is one block away, and there is a very nice coffee shop on the street corner.
