We had a fantastic time at The Healing Place. Valerie made us feel very welcome, and went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed. Indeed, she even went so far as to help us print some tickets off for a show that we booked last minute. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of apple cider and some cheese, not to mention the delicious biscuits that she left us later in the week.

We visited early September, during a rather hot and humid period. Even though the air conditioner was controlled by Valerie on the floor above, she always ensured that we were comfortable, and that if we ever had an issue, that she was only a text message away. The only small issue we had in this regard was that the room where the bed is located does not get the same level of air flow from the AC as the rest of the house. So, while the house maintains a lovely temp, the bedroom can become a little stuffy in the middle of the night when the AC is not working its hardest. It must be said though, this was only an issue for 2 of our 6 nights, where the temperature and humidity were particularly high. As soon as that temp dropped even a little, it was no problem at all. A small desk fan, or even a lock for the screen door in the bedroom would easily fix this by providing that little extra air flow.

Simply put, the Healing Place is a wonderful place to stay while you are in New York. After long and busy Manhattan days, filled with endless people and noise and flashing lights, we were always so grateful to have a welcoming and lovely home to come back to.
