Marjorie is an excellent host. We were first timers and she went out of her way to make sure we had enough information to help us get around. She's very responsive whenever you have a question. Her apartment is very nice and clean and neighbourhood is peaceful and lots of sites in Brookland is nearby which is a bonus. Like a zoo and children's museum. Public transportation is within walking distance to take you where ever you want to go. Times Square is just a short ride in subway.
