Heidi is good people and a genuine, good host. Her house is clean and is located on a quite residential block. She and her 10 y/o daughter warmly greeted us upon arrival and gladly answered our questions about NYC. The room is fairly spacious and has a comfy bed, a large dresser and mirror as well as a desk. Pull the curtains if you like to sleep in as it gets nice early morning light. The room has a lock and is off a hallway that connects to the bathroom, kitchen and front door so you are not faced with awkwardly walking through someones living room all the time. There is a convenient mini mall 5 minutes away on foot. There are numerous bars and restaurants nearby representing various cultures. We would definitely stay with Heidi again and recommend her place to others!
