Victoria was an excellent hostess - very warm and welcoming and full of helpful advice.

The apartment is very clean and the bedroom was - typically for NY - on the small side but extremely comfortable, with a large window that made the room feel larger than it was plus some very well-chosen storage that again helped to expand the room and prevented the small size from being a drawback.

I believe one reviewer noted the location as being farther (several blocks east) from the nearest subway line. That's true but it's a nice neighborhood and an easy walk to the Lexington Ave station. Plus there's a cross-town bus that stops less than a block away, if you're not up for the walk.

A great NYC find - a clean comfortable bed and bath in a convenient safe neighborhood with a friendly, helpful hostess for a price this low is remarkable.
