The host is a warm and welcoming woman. Whatever local information you'll need, she will be able to provide. She checked on me periodically to make sure I was comfortable and I certainly was! As a native New Yorker, I was very comfortable in the area and walking to and from the train station at night. The only thing is the train close by was doing construction on Saturday and Sunday so they had shuttle buses running in lieu of train service. I came, was able to attend to business accordingly and left with a hug. Will recommend will book again!
