Grace is an extremely conscientious and gracious host. She is so detail oriented and organized so that you know exactly what to expect during your stay. The neighborhood is in a safe part of paper Manhattan close to subways. It is a charming historical home that is beautifully decorated. The room is lovely with a bed, dining table and couch that can be a bed. With a fan and AC is was an oasis in the NY heat! Her guest book is very detailed with recommendations about how to get around, places to eat at and things to do. There is also a lovely park close by that is great to walk and jog in. There is parking on the street if you are fortunate to find a spot but there is also a parking lot close by for an affordable price; much better than the lower Manhattan area. I recommend staying at Grace's if you're ever in NYC!
