Absolutely loved Cara’s stay. Bedroom and bathroom were wonderful— decorated to our taste and the bed was *heavenly*. I slept as well as I do at home, and that’s not typical for me. Window AC unit + ceiling fan kept us nice and cool during the 90*+ days. The bathroom was great and the water pressure was outstanding (I’m running out of superlatives!).
Only two caveats— be aware that there are three flights of stairs from the curb up to the bedroom, so it’s not great for travelers with mobility issues. Also, the nearest subway stop is I believe 6 blocks away (three avenues and three streets). We didn’t have any trouble navigating it and we were comfortable walking all around the East Village at night, but if you want to be “right on top” of the subway, this is about a 10-15 min walk.
Cara was easy to communicate with and was a considerate host— staying with her was as comfortable as staying with friends— I hope we will get to stay here again in the future!
