Carol's home is warm, welcoming and wonderfully located, just a block from Central Park and within easy reach of some nice restaurants, local shops and several subway lines. As a single woman travelling to New York for the first time, I wanted to feel safe and secure, and I did. The room was spotless, the double bed extremely comfortable, and the hot water plentiful. On top of that, Carol was really helpful with practical advice on getting the most from my visit. We had some great conversations about city life - the sort of insight you only get from staying in someone's home. I thoroughly recommend Carol's place; it will be my go-to choice next time I visit New York.
