Grace has a charming apartment in the upper part of Manhattan in a residential neighborhood. There is a very nice park close by with walking/running paths with scenic overviews of the Hudson and close to the athletic facilities for Columbia University (running track and field open to the public). Her place is close to the subway and buses. It’s a reasonably quiet neighborhood (for New York), is very clean, charming and comfortable. You won’t see Grace much, but she is a professional (and also great) chef who sometimes has extras to share while cooking. Her place is accurately represented by the photos and descriptions and you’ll probably have more space in the bedroom than many places in mid-town Manhattan. She is a super-host with quite a number of rules and suggestions, but these are reasonable and not onerous. Internet, bathroom, bed are all quite good. Supplies for coffee and simple breakfast items are supplied, but her kitchen is her domain and not for sharing (not a big deal). Her building isn’t fancy, but perfectly fine with a small elevator. There aren’t as many bars and restaurants as further south in mid-town Manhattan which is a 30 minute train-ride from Times Square, but there are a handful of ok restaurants and grocery-stores. Her place was very close and convenient to a hospital where I was spending some time and I’d definitely stay there again if I was in this neighborhood again. Thanks Grace!
