Katherine's place is ideal for a visit to New York. It's very convenient to the subway, and midway between all three airports. The apartment is clean, comfortable and quiet in an eclectic, funky, friendly neighborhood, with a well stocked supermarket a couple blocks away and several big box stores nearby. The kitchen is among the best provisioned ones in which I've ever stayed. And I travel a lot. The washer is also convenient for those on long trips. I have already tried to stay with Katherine for an upcoming trip. Regretfully, her places were booked. But as this attempt shows, I would stay in her apartment again if I can.
