A truly memorable visit!

This was my first experience with AirBnB and it was a fantastic one. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to meet such a wonderful New Yorker and experience a city I’ve visited many times before in a whole new way.

I had just flown in from Denmark, and Fran (after giving great direction to her home on the phone) welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home at once. She offered me dinner, we had a glass of wine, and then enjoyed a great conversation – the first of many. Fran is a wonderful hostess – very social, friendly, open, a pleasure to be with and easy to talk to about anything – culture, politics, arts, relationships and so on. As a tourist from abroad, it was so interesting to hear about her life, her experiences as an actress and singer, and her take on life.

Fran clearly enjoys having people around her and tries to do her best for her visitors. After asking me about my interests, she offered great recommendations (comedy shows, piano bars, plays) that I enjoyed very much. I ended up doing things and going places I would have never discovered and having many memorable experiences over my 4 days in Manhattan.

The location is very convenient for seeing the city (near the train, bus, etc.). As the pictures show, her home is very beautiful – filled with history and memories and reflecting her experiences. The guest room is very nice and comfortable as well – and it was a bonus to have a private bathroom. You do get some noise from the street, but that’s to be expected in such a central, vibrant location.

As others have written, her little dog Coco is very friendly and social – it was nice to be greeted by him every morning. And to wake up to coffee made from freshly ground beans and a good breakfast

I would absolutely recommend Fran’s wonderful bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a unique, interesting Manhattan experience. I enjoyed this chance to step into another world and see New York from the point of view of an actress, performer, and very interesting person.
