We had an enjoyable stay at Greer's home (5 nights). She was patient to explain to us all the intricacies of the New York transit system and thus made our trips to New York a breeze (we got lost in the subway twice, but finally made it to the right way by asking people around us). Two adults and 2 teens (14 and 13 yrs) and 1 kid (11 yrs) fit very nicely in her room and living room. She had the a/c on and it was cool when outside was very hot. Greer graciously provided towels for all five of us which was very thoughful. We really appreciate her ecological approach to recycling. She is a very interesting host and we had pleasure to chat with her on life in USA, etc.
On the other hand, her kichen is a bit small but we manage to cook our breakfast every morning (we did not cook every night as she wrote previously). Lack of space (two tables in the kitchen was too crowded) for meal preparation in the kitchen.
Her two cats are very quiet and not bothersome at all. The kids like them (especially the girls and me).
Inwood is a quiet and safe place to stay. It has quaint little restaurants and shops and nice spanish atmosphere. Travelling in the subway to Inwood was quite safe even past midnight. We usually get back to the apartment around past midnight, and sometimes we stop at the grocery 24/24 to buy our breakfast stuff for the morning.
Greer is an attentionate host and we like her very much. Our next stay to New York will be at her place again. Days passed so quickly that we did not have the time to do the little trail from the cloister to Inwood which she mentioned to us. May be on our next visit.
All the best from all of us,
