Sara was a very warm and friendly host. She had to be out of town most of the time I was there. But we were able to meet before I checked in and she was around the day before I left. She was very accessible should I have needed anything. The accommodations were very nice. And it was a block away from many shops and restaurants. The subway was a few blocks away. Unfortunately, I didn't read the listing carefully enough when I booked. I think I assumed there would be a television. There was wifi, but I don't have a laptop or iPad. I did have a Nook and was able to get music on Pandora. Since I was in Manhattan every day until very late, the lack of television didn't really matter. But it is something I would think about next time. There were appliances available - microwave, toaster, etc. All in all, my stay at Sara's was very pleasant.
