Claire's place is in a nice and quiet neighborhood that was very close to the C line subway, which will get you to Manhattan (where we spent most of our time) in about 30 minutes. It was very spacious by New York standards, and the beds (including the pullout) were very comfortable. Although we never met Claire, she was very easy to reach by text. She also had a platter of crackers, cheese, fruit, and home-baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival! She also allowed us to store our luggage in the hallway upon check-out as our flight was later in the afternoon. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting New York!
