John and Tunisia have a real cosy place which is close to Manhattan. It was our first visit to NYC. Their place worked out beautifully for us, as we had meetings in offices near World Trade Center. And we got a great feel of the city without having to spend a lot of time on road or subway. John was around to welcome us and from the word go, he made sure we were comfortable. He showed us around their place, as well as the neighborhood; he even walked us to the subway and gave us info we would need as first time visitors to the city. It rained the very next day of our arrival. And even before we had begun to figure out what to do, John came down with umbrellas and raincovers, so we could go about our day easily. So thoughtful of him! You will have the floor mostly to yourself, so it's very quiet and peaceful. And their well appointed room and kitchen will ensure you have everything you need for your stay. You might find the toilet and shower a tad small, but even so it's clean and well maintained. John and Tunisia have a wonderful, affectionate family whom you might bump into coming and going out. We look forward to staying with them again, on our next visit too.
