Nadya was an excellent host. She was welcoming without being overbearing and very responsive to any questions. Furthermore, she really went above and beyond to accommodate me. And the house itself is lovely! My room was just perfect! Light, airy, and spacious. I quickly felt right at home. It’s such a big house that you feel like you’re the only one there. The commute to manhattan wasn’t ideal for me as I had to get to work early in the morning but for a visit it wouldn’t be a problem at all. The ferry ride is really a bonus in my opinion! It’s a great way to appreciate New York!
