I had a wonderful stay at the home of Albert and his mother, who were warmly hospitable and very helpful. The location was perfect for my needs, within easy reach of public transport, in a safe and quiet area. I enjoyed having the freedom to come and go at whatever time I wished, and also enjoyed chatting with my host and his family. The facilities are as good as described, and better: the bed is very comfortable, and the room has aircon, a phone charging unit by the bed, and space to hang clothes and stow them in drawers. I loved having a bathroom for my own use, with an excellent shower, and the kind loan of an iron to de-wrinkle my clothes daily. I would love to stay here again on my next visit to New York.
