I highly recommend staying with Miranda. From start to finish she was nothing but a welcoming and friendly host. When I first got there she made sure she was home so that I could check in. The room was all set up for me and in great condition. There are great restaurants, grocery, coffee and breakfast all within one block of Mirandas. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and had no problem navigating the Subway for the first time from her place to Manhattan. If I'm ever in New York again I would stay here. Thank you for everything!
