Valeria is a fantastic host! Very accommodating with my arrival & departure schedules, great communication, extremely thoughtful! The area is very convenient, close to metro, approximately 5 min walk, with lots of nice eateries nearby & very safe even late at night. The room has a very comfortable bed, with lots of room for storage, & facing a very quiet side of the street. I stayed for about 2 weeks & can completely unpacked, slept extremely well! The place is exceptionally clean. Valeria even changed my sheets after the first week & provided 2 sets of towel for my stay! She has treats, travel toothbrush set, pocket Kleenex & maps etc all ready in the room. She even invited me to join her for lunch on one of the weekends! Thanks Valeria! Will definitely love to return when I visit NY again!
