Christine is an excellent and detail-oriented host ready to welcome and greet her guests anytime.
The room provided was clean, charming and well-organized with all the little things a visitor of New York City might need, like maps and books and list of recommended places to eat. The private room and bathroom is big enough for 2 people and has been provided with enough closet space, fresh towels, hair dryer, toiletries, tv, internet to make you feel at home. Christine was also very gracious to share her coffee and cookies with us. The area and neighborhood feels safe to walk around even at night.
The only con I can think of is walking up the flight of stairs to the 4th floor especially with luggage in tow, it added to my daily walking count, so there's a pro. And the only noise I heard was Saturday night maybe there was a gathering in another apartment or building but generally a quiet stay through-out.
I would definitely consider staying at Christine's home again on my next visit.
