Sidney's house is a Victorian charmer. I had a huge bedroom with a bay window and a comfortable bed. Sharing a bathroom with other guests was much less trouble that I imagined.
Sidney was at all times gracious and attentive to my needs. He shared a lot of useful information about the neighborhood, which is lovely and quiet. I found good restaurants and delis and a subway stop within a couple blocks from his house. The neighborhood is fabulous with a multitude of different nationalities and cultures. Everyone was friendly to me, and it was refreshing to see so many different people getting along well together. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I look forward to staying there again next year
