I will make this short. So many other reviewers have praised Terry, and written about her home in the same positive, enthusiastic way as I would, so just read all of the other highly-satisfied guests' reviews; then add to them, this: Terry's genuine warmth and helpfulness (and amazingly comfortable home) created a perfect "calm" in a city that, just outside of her secure door, provided the hyper-energetic cultural stimulation for which I came to NYC. Each day began with the quiet and comfort which the apartment offered, followed by the (to me) joyful sounds of The City---on its crowded streets, within the heart-breakingly glorious Metropolitan Museum, in the bustling Theatre District (where I saw and felt deeply "The Band's Visit"), along the brilliantly thought-out High Line, inside soul-feeding MOMA...the list of awesomeness goes on; but after returning "home" I was enveloped in a peaceful quiet....all thanks to Terry. Now, doesn't this describe the kind of stay one hopes for when traveling? I highly recommend staying with Terry in the UES, and would return in a heartbeat. Gratefully yours, Katherine
