Me and my fiancee went to NY to run NYC Marathon. I was looking for a place I could feel like home. After seeing photos of Zandy's place and notice a Boston Marathon medal I have no doubt! Our time was amazing, Zandy's place is confy (the bed is not the same as in photos, it is better!) and the shower has hot water everytime, so don't worry about it. Metro is two blocks away and there are many stores close. The neibor seems very safe. His cat Ell was my best friend the hole stay: gave me a lot of love and that made me felt like home like no other place made it. Unfortunately I didn't meet Zandy, but he left a good luck message for the marathon written on the wall (who else would do such an amazing thing? I love it!).
