We had an unforgettable time in New York, thanks in large part to the wonderful location of Mathieu's brownstone. It was on a quiet, tree lined street and was just a few blocks from the entrance to the Subway. There were numerous cafe's, bars and restaurants in the area to choose from. I would've loved to have spent more time there so that we could have explored more of the neighborhood. Mathieu was a kind and helpful host. It was very nice for us to know that he was right upstairs in case we needed anything. If we come back to New York, hopefully Mathieu's place will be available!
