Patricia was a wonderful host during my 1 month stay in the provided bedroom. She's pleasant to talk and really went the extra mile to make sure my stay was comfortable. I really felt comfortable very quickly living with her and she was very helpful in helping me learn to navigate the city for the first time. She has a very agreeable and genuinely honest character that can't be understated.
The rented bedroom is on the opposite side of the apartment from Patricia's room, ideal for one person with about as much privacy as you could ever get sharing an apartment. Her two cats, Joey and Zac are full of personality and fun to see in the common areas once they get comfortable enough to come out! Nearly everything needed is provided for and if you need something extra Patricia is the type of host to make sure it's there (just be sure to have courtesy and give a heads up though). Laundry is also in building at the basement. The location of the apartment is wonderful too, you're just out of the crazy parts of midtown so the noise level isn't bad, but you're so close to Grand Central that you can basically get anywhere in NYC in under 30 mins. There's also a Duane Reade (drug store) right beside the apartment where you can pick up anything you mightve forgotten for your trip.
Over all this was everything I'd hoped for and at a very humble and competitive price that beats 90% of everything else for this area. Thanks for your hospitality and hosting me Patricia!
