I recently stayed at Linda and Robert's place for 10 days. I was travelling alone so it was great to connect with someone. They made me feel welcome and were always friendly and helpful. I slept better when I was there than I do at home (I must get myself a new mattress), the bed was just right. The room is on the ground floor and at the front of the house, so I thought it might be noisy, but actually it wasn't a problem, just the sound of the occassional car drifting by, as I said, I slept very well. The room was clean and comfortable. The best part was Linda and Robert, not forgetting daughter Nina: a big thank you to them for making my first visit to New York, easy and comfortable. Makes me wonder why people would want to stay at some expensive hotel and risk not really connecting with anyone. This was a lovely experience.
