Winter was an incredibly accomodating and welcoming host. You really feel like family when you are here. She has done an amazing job decorating her home and making it into a very zen-like space. I could get downtown very easily by train, and LGA is close as well. The only issue I had was with street noise - but that's my fault for not being more used to it or more prepared for just how noisy NYC can be! Otherwise, I really enjoyed getting to know Winter and her very sweet family of 2 dogs, Popeye and Bebop, and 2 cats, Midnight and Secret.
