Grace is the consummate host. Though a shared space, her home is warm and very comforting. Beautifully decorated! Our room was also exquisite in its decor. It was like going home to a big warm hug after a long day of hoofing it around that magnificent city. It’s small, but definitely not uncomfortably so - so very New York City in its age and quality of build!
Not a single need was missing for us as guests right down to the cotton robes and slippers! And as so many before us have commented, the bed is VERY comfortable! Provided coffee is extremely good and nice teas are there for non-coffee drinkers. Fresh water is available daily, and we really enjoyed New York’s clean, clear tap water! Simple breakfast is offered along w/ live TV, music, and books in our room! We were encouraged to use the AC if needed, but a slightly opened window gave us perfect temperatures throughout in winter.
Though we were concerned about sharing a bath, not once in a full week did we find ourselves unable to access it when needed. It’s very clean and all needs are available there, too. Grace does have rules and seemed possibly concerned that they may be under appreciated, but we found them to be 100% sensible in allowing us to share a space. In other words, Grace has mastered being unobtrusive and allowed us to share very comfortably.
Please do take advantage of her Host’s Guidebook within the listing. We hit many of the restaurants she recommended and enjoyed them all! And travel from her very-pleasant-to-travel-on-foot neighborhood, day or night, was great! A single A train into the city for sightseeing was so easy!
We cannot recommend her beautiful NYC accommodations any more highly! Truly. I know I’ve used the word, “comfortable,” repeatedly, but there’s good reason. Grace’s first objective in hosting is YOUR comfort. Do not hesitate to book w/ Grace. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying their stay!
