Agnes was very helpful and an interesting person to share living space with. She helped me locate places I wanted to visit and gave accurate info on how best to use New York's public transport in order to get there. Agnes took her role as a host with a sense of responsibility and tried hard to make my stay accomplish what I was wanting to achieve during my visit. The photos of the lounge and balcony area weren't quite what I saw when I got there, but Agnes was true to her word as far as the amount of organic yogurt, milk and cereal available. The aircon kept the room very cool during the hot New York summer. Perhaps a bit too cool seeing it was situated right above the bed head of where I slept. Although some people would think that great, if I stayed again with Agnes, I would ask that the bed be moved away to a different wall as it kept me awake through the night.
