I had the pleasure of staying at Lenore's place for an 8 day trip to NYC with my husband and my mom. We were met by Lenore's friend Howard who woke up extra early and let us into the apartment at 6am after a red eye flight. He was kind and helpful and we couldn't have asked for a better welcome. The apartment itself was wonderful. It is so cheerful and clean and has everything you could want for a comfortable stay (including a french press and coffee-a big deal for us)! Lenore has mastered the art of hosting and we were so impressed with the efficiency and organization of the apartment. She really thought of everything from extra blankets to fluffy pillows. The neighborhood is alive and full of great coffee places, restaurants and all around good vibes. It took us about 15-20 minutes to get to the subway which suited us just fine. Overall, this was a wonderful experience. Lenore made sure everything went well and was very easy to get in touch with. We didn't get to meet her as she was travelling but she orchestrated the check in and out so it was super easy for us. If we're ever back in the city we will surely look into staying here again.
