Carol is warm, friendly, helpful and very interesting. Her place is perfect for one traveller -- it is very affordable, leaving money in the travel budget for having fun. It is in a very safe neighbourhood. It is a short bus ride plus one subway trip to Manhatten -- and right where you change from the bus to subway, there is an awesome Greek bakery with a morning special of coffee and a crusty bun for 99 cents -- what more do you need for the perfect commute!
