Melissa is a kind and smart hostess. If you are very into privacy, I wouldn’t recommend this place because your bed is in the living room itself. But, for me personally, it was good enough because Melissa respects your privacy alot and you have a curtain to seperate the room. Sometimes you didn’t even notice she was there! She gave us alot of great tips on things to do in NYC and those things made our stay alot more memorable. We had a great time. The location is just perfect. Just a few blocks removed from the MET and Central Park and the subway station! That’s rare for a price like that...
