I have been to New York many times, but this was one of my best trips - and staying in Reka's place played an important part. Reka wasn't there but her roommate Erin was great in welcoming me and making me feel at home ("What's ours is yours"). The apartment on the 6th floor is sunny and cosy and spotlessly clean, also quiet, my room wonderful, I even had the bath to myself most days. Checking in and out was easy, Erin was flexible. And when I asked how I could make coffee, she went out and bought a French press. The neighborhood is great with so many Cafés and Restaurants and young people around. I loved talking to Erin and her friends, everything was so relaxed. I very much hope I can come back.
