My sister and I stayed with Agnes for an overnight trip to the city. She was wonderful! Even before the trip, she sent me all kinds of information about things to do in the city (and how to do them on the cheap). She gave excellent directions to help us navigate the city. And to speak to her character, she was very warm and friendly-overall an excellent host. The apartment building itself was really cool (historic building with lots of character- loved it!) and overlooked a small park. The room and bathroom were both very clean and comfortable. Agnes let us drop off our bags early in the morning before our official check in so we could go explore without being loaded down with heavy backpacks. When we returned, our bags were stored neatly in the room. She even left a small table of snacks and beverages for us in case we got hungry. The neighborhood is quiet, and my sister and I had no reservations in walking from the apartment all the way to Central Park. Public transportation was also easily accessible. Overall it was a great trip made even better by such a hospitable host, and when we go back, we know where to stay without a doubt. I highly recommend it!
