Monica's place was perfect for us. We had 5 nights there then we went to Niagara falls for 2 nights then came back for another 5 nights.
Monica was kind enough to let us leave our bigger bags at her place whilst we visited Niagara falls which saved alot of hastle for us.
She was very welcoming and made us feel right at home with a cold bottle of water ready for us when we arrived. She also had bagels and cream cheese there for us for breakfast.
I would highly recommend Monica's airbnb if you are planning a trip to new york. If we ever make it back we will definitely be staying at Monica's place again if she will have us.
