I had a wonderful time staying at Carol's place. Her apartment is in a really nice area, very close to the subway, cafes, restaurants, and just one block from Central Park. The neighborhood feels very safe, as does her building. The room feels like a private suite: a nicely decorated room with beautiful windows and a really nice private bathroom. The bed is very comfortable and her street is quiet so I slept very well. Carol was a wonderful host. She is very friendly and helpful, but also respectful of personal space. I highly recommend her place, and hope that I can stay with her again next time I am in New York.
