Skip was an excellent host - he was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating (helping me look up rates for a car service to the airport and calling a cab at 5.30 in the morning, and even when we changed from a group of 2 to a group of 3 at the last minute). The room itself is warm (fear not the New York winter!) and the beds comfortable (the pillows in particular are incredibly soft and bouncy). The location was also pretty great (just one street away from the 36th street station, which has both local and express trains into Manhattan).

All in all, I really enjoyed my stay (which was also because I really enjoyed the company of Skip's cats and the couple of times I said hi to the dog, who are all really friendly and adorable fluffy creatures)!
