My mom and I had a lovely stay away from home at Claudine's place. The room is nicely done with her touch of NY feel. It is clean and the modern kitchen is fully equipped. Thanks for the complimentary wine too! We just felt home straight away.

I also have to mention that the pull out sofa is super comfortable and I had my own sleeping space and territory :)

This is our first trip to NY and we feel safe and can always come back "home" to her place safely. We get to feel the neighbourhoods and living like locals.

Location wise it is very accessible by buses which are well connected to the trains to the city. The time we use to commute to the city is between 1 hr - 1.5 hrs depending on the destinations.

In addition, Claudine is gracious hospitable lady although we didn't have a chance to meet. She kept checking us before, during and after the stay. We are grateful for her hospitality extended to us. We do hope to be able to meet her in person in the future.
