MaryEllen was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The apartment is located in a nice area on the upper west side, just a few mintues walk from the metro or less than $20 cab ride from Time Square.
She left a light breakfast in the kitchen for me in the morning. The bathroom is shared with the other guests, if any, otherwise it is all yours. I will definitely recommend her for your visit to NYC. Lovely stay in a truly lovely american family.
