I had a great stay with Melody. She responded quickly to all my questions & was very flexible with my arrival & departure times. The apartment was very easy to get to on the subway system & well connected to Brooklyn & Manhattan. Just make sure you leave enough time if going back to JFK to fly out. The security was crowded! Melody had some great ideas for things to do in NYC & plays the piano beautifully. She even has some CDs of her playing for sale & I've loved listening to it. Hopefully I'll make it back some day.
