Bob and Gladys are such loving people. I traveled and stayed with them with my son and my niece for 3 days. We would have been there 5 days but we were unable to snag the last two days with them. I really regret not booking earlier to have their location for the entire stay. They were so helpful with whatever we needed, and even opened the bottom of their house which is theirs to us if we needed it. They cooked us breakfast one morning and Bob even taught my 11 year old how to workout. They worked out a few times together. It was so nice seeing my son so happy. Everything was clean and fresh towels were provided along with other bathroom essentials. They even cleaned up a bit after us daily while we were out. If I ever go back to New York and I'm sure I will, Bob and Gladys house is where I will be! By the end of the trip my son and niece were calling them Uncle Bob and Aunt Gladys :-) they are truly amazing people! The location is great and in a very safe neighborhood right stupid the corner to the subway. They showed us exactly where everything was as far as food and where to shop. Gladys even walked me and my niece to get a pedicure. We stayed in Manhattan the last 2 days and had a horrible time, I would much rather travel to the city just stay in such a warm, welcome place .Words cannot describe how welcome we felt. I definitely have two new friends. I recommend this place to anyone, this is the ONLY place to stay!
