I arrived around 6pm after a long drive, Frances greeted me with a big smile, and showed me around (a very nicely furnished basement, which truly looks like a full studio, with plenty of water and juice in the fridge). I asked Frances if there was some restaurant around, and her answer was to share the family dinner with me (and she's a great cook!). I wasn't expecting such level of hospitality. The location proved convenient, a 30 minutes walk from the US Open where I spent my last 3 days watching tennis. It all worked out perfectly, my car staying in the street in a safe neighborhood. Only caveat: planes from the nearby airport are somewhat noisy early morning.
