Charisse's place is stylish, squeaky clean and located 20 minutes away from Manhattan. It is also much closer to JFK and Laguardia airports than Manhattan. The place is also well lit and has anything you need including a lovely outdoor space which you can use. The area feels safe and is close to the Metro station. While I ddn't get the chance to meet Charisse in person, she was easily accessible and accommodating and checked in often to make sure I have all I needed. Highly recommended!
