Cynthia is a fantastic host. She made me feel welcome from the very first moment I entered her apartment. She cares for the well-being of her guests, is very helpful with practical information (transportation in NYC, good places to eat etc.) and she is always open for a chat.
The room is small but clean and very quiet and you are free to use the living room and kitchen. The apartment itself is worth a visit! Every room is furnished and decorated with an artistic touch that is a feast for the eye. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable.
Situated on a quiet street on the upper east side, the apartment is in walking distance from Central Park and very close to a subway station with a direct line to downtown Manhattan (approx. 15 min.). It is thus easy to get to and from the place and the area feels secure, also at night.
I can warmly recommend a stay at Cynthia's!
