I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Penny's. The apartment is stylish and tasteful; the bedroom is comfortable and homely with plenty of storage space - it's the perfect spot for those wishing to explore the infinite variety of New York and have a safe, welcoming haven to return to in the evening. Very close to shops, restaurants and the subway, but the walk from this lovely apartment to some of Manhattan's big attractions is very pleasant on a clear day.
You couldn't hope for a better host than Penny - thoughtful, helpful, funny, great attention to detail, and a pleasure to converse with. Plus she is very knowledgable about the city and even recommended some great places to visit during my trip. The path to me becoming a New Yorker may well have begun here!
