My visit to NYC and stay at Lovely Room in Doorman Building was an excellent way to celebrate my birthday week. Even though I did not get to meet Gabrielle, Rich is a gracious and sensitive host and I highly recommend this listing. Stella and Neil were a pleasure for me, as well. The room and bathroom are as pictured and the apartment is just a really pleasant environment. I felt completely comfortable and safe walking alone in the neighborhood and between the apartment and the subway station, even late at night, because there were always other people out and about.
It was fun to spend some time with Rich and his neighbors and friends such as going to the Little Red Lighthouse Festival under the George Washington Bridge and going to the rooftop to watch the Supermoon Bloodmoon Lunar Eclipse. (And yes, it's true that Rich makes really good cookies!)
All in all, it was just a really lovely stay and one I would gladly repeat some day.
