My second stay at Roxane's--and it was just as warm and welcoming and pleasant as the first time. When I arrived late in the evening (after changing the time earlier in the day), I was greeted with "Welcome home!" and shown quickly to "my room." It was so wonderful to have a comfortable, safe place to stay in Manhattan just a couple of blocks from the A train. Hosts were very hospitable, flexible and discreet--around enough to be friendly, but leaving me space to come and go, use the shared spaces a bit. This time, there was a lovely new painting in "my room" that made it even more special. I had hoped to get a longer stay at Roxane's but she was booked up. Next time I'll book earlier. Thank you again, Roxane!
