Everything was just as advertised. Grace is a wonderful host. The room was awesome and a quintessential NYC apartment complete with a fire escape! We woke up one morning to the sound of a mourning dove on one of the steps. We could not have asked for better accommodations. We felt safe in the neighborhood. The subway was a 4 block walk and about 30 minutes to Times Square. The Indian Road cafe makes a great latte. We saved a lot of money making breakfast in the kitchen. And, Grace, a professional chef, made us some chicken wings and ravioli one night - delicious! The bed was very comfy although it was a double, so if people prefer a queen or king it might seem a little small. Overall, this was a great experience and we highly recommend it!
