Spend two weeks at Linda's place and throughly enjoyed my stay! The apartment has great light and energy and everything you would need right in a very central location, close to the Canal subway. It's a peaceful place to work during the day and pretty quiet at night considering its location. The bed is comfortable. The only thing I missed were some blinds, so bring an eye mask if you are a light sleeper. Also it's a 6 floor walk-up so be prepared for a workout getting in and out, which is sort of nice considering all the great food options nearby... Linda was a great host- very friendly and accessible, responds quickly! I would highly recommend this peaceful spot.
