Valeries place was beautiful. Cozy and very clean. She had extra blankets and towels for us. The pictures matched the place very accurately. The first 2 days we traveled by subway which was a first time experience for us. The walk was about 2 or 3 blocks so not bad at all. The only thing about that is I felt a little afraid at night in the neighborhood and we were a little further away from downtown Manhattan than we had anticipated. We had quite a few stops by subway which made it a little harder especially after we had been out shopping. Our last 2 days we decided to rent a car. The downside to that was parking. It took us 20 minutes just to find a spot we circled the blocks a few times til we finally found a spot and had to walk to the house. Other than that everything was great. Valerie was a great host and quick responses. I would recommend. Thank you Valerie🙂
