The apartment is located at the basement of Dominique's house, with its own front door and private entrance area. Dominique is just what you would like from a host - as she states herself 'upstairs if you need me and upstairs if you don't'. The house is located in a friendly area with very easy and quick access into Manhattan either by ferry or bus & subway. The beds were comfy, everything was clean, there was tea, coffee, milk and granola bars provided. Toiletries, tissues &bin bags were also provided. Dominique excelled at providing files with information on the area and how best to get around. As this was our first trip to meet our son, now living in Manhattan, we found this advice invaluable.
