I'm happy the building has an elevator! The home is around the corner from a subway station, Duane Reade and several small shops. It's very likely you'll come across something of interest just by walking through the neighborhood.
Agnes put a lot of thought into what travelers may need. There's an assortment of snacks and beverages in the room. All linens are fresh or new. Toiletries are available as well. She provides detailed information about her neighborhood and the city prior to your arrival. She's approachable and friendly. Agnes is also fluent in at least three other languages. No matter where you're from or your reason for visiting NYC, I feel she's relatable to most people.
