Christine is a wonderful, creative, positive lady and a pleasure to stay with! The room is clean, beautifully deocrated, very spacious, and the bed is incredibly comfy. The apartment has everything you could need for a long stay - clean bathroom with a great shower, an elevator in the building for your luggage, soft sheets, a fridge, internet, and a subway stop literally feet from the building (which is nice when it's rainy and cold). She even provided tea accoutrement when I mentioned that I was a tea drinker! The apartment is on a busy street with lots of restaurants, shops, salons, and entertainment, so you don't really have to go far. It's a great place to walk around, and if you want to do the tourist thing in Midtown, you're a ten minute subway ride away. I have made a wonderful new friend in NYC! (Oh, and her cat Dempsey is fantastic.)
