The biggest hurdle in planning a trip to NYC was where to stay. Once a friend-of-a-friend recommended Penny's place and the dates we needed were open, the trip fell into place. Her home is beautiful and comfortable; convenient, nice neighborhood, friendly doormen/neighbors. It is several blocks to the subway, but an easy find. Close to shopping, site-seeing, a wonderful diner with a great breakfast. Penny was helpful in getting us started in the right directions, didn't intrude, and was delightful to be around. I would stay with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, again, Penny!
