My stay at Cherisse and Patricia's was very nice, it felt like being at my mother’s. Apart form the fact that the apartment is a real art gallery, very colorful and cozy.
Besides, the other room (originally Patricia’s room) was rented to another girl with whom I made friends and enjoyed some visits to the city. Cherisse is always present and take care of the house, keeping it clean and tidy, asking her guests to help her following the rules published in the apartment description. When I wasn't in a rush to go somewhere, she offered me a reach breakfast or we cooked dinner together (she’s a professional chef) to my delight and to some friend of theirs who had stopped for dinner. Patricia stopped by a couple of times, she is a very nice person: during my stay she was not at home but she’s helping Cherisse in the management of the business. Cats are always around but they are very friendly and clean and often they let you cuddle them. My room was a nice size, i had a wardrobe and a lot of hangers. Sheets and towels were super clean and comfy. The mattress quality was good and I slept very well. The bedroom windows are on the main street (5th ave) and you cannot open them but there is a good ventilation system. The apartment is 5 min walk from a Subway Station that allows you to reach Manhattan in 30-40 minutes. Downstairs you can find anything you need, restaurants, mini markets, ATM, laundry. The neighborhood is busy but quite safe, as far as I experienced.
