Gabriella and her wonderful husband hosted us for 5 weeks while we had our own apartment in the area renovated, and we could not have wished for a better experience. The apartment itself was spacious and well appointed. There was a washer and dryer (virtually unheard of in a NYC apartment), sleep was restful in an comfortable bed with a peaceful back yard, and cooking at home was easy with a full range and dishwasher and a little grocery on the corner. They had fast wireless internet available, and Netflix in case you wanted to relax in the evenings and catch a movie on their large flatscreen TV. All in all, an incredibly enjoyable stay. If I was coming from out of town, I'd stay again in a second.
