Nancy was a great host. We stayed for 3 nights with visiting friends from Europe on their first trip to NYC. Nancy helped us with suggestions for things to do with "young adult but not old enough for clubs" guests. Her ideas were lively and helpful.

The apartment is in a quiet, out-of-the-way area but still convenient to public transportation. Although the neighborhood could benefit from a little street cleaning, it seems safe and friendly. The walk to the subway station is about a half mile and there are several good groceries along the way. A late-night taxi ride from nearby Williamsburg was about $16 including the tip; not bad.

Nancy's place is well equipped too. It has everything you need for cooking, comfy beds, cold AC, lots of hooks in the bathroom (yay!). We found the binder with city info very helpful and our guests got a kick out of having a TV in every room. Many NY apartments lack closet space but Nancy has cleverly placed clothes racks in some rooms so you can unpack without clutter. One of the bedrooms has an attached bathroom which was a nice treat for our guests too.
