I don’t have enough room to say all of the terrific things that I would like to about my host, Ernest, and my stay at his home. He welcomed me with a huge smile and brought in my luggage. Terrific conversations as I sat in the kitchen for breakfast and snacks, and the apartment could not be any quieter.
It is a perfectly sized small neighborhood, a “four corner town” so to speak, yet with everything I could need – from two grocery stores to a pharmacy, bodegas, restaurants and a great coffee shop, all no more than two minutes from the apartment. A three minute walk to the subway IS KEY TO A VISIT to NYC – especially in cold (it was 30F and windy and rainy). I immediately felt at home. The bed was absolutely perfectly comfortable – something we forget to think about and so often can be a problem even in the best of hotels. The bathroom was pristine.
Made a friend, and found a NYC home.
