I had a month long internship at CHAM, and staying with Gloria was phenomenal. Her place is a 3 minute walking distance from the subway, and that made travelling throughout NYC and commuting extremely easy and convenient. I only used public transport during my stay which was very affordable with an unlimited metro card. The apartment complex is a gorgeous prehistoric building, in which her flat is beautifully and tastefully renovated and styled. An added bonus was the presence of a washing machine facility in the building. I also felt very safe in her neighborhood- the building with despite the stereotypical opinion of the Bronx. Gloria is a beautiful soul, and I felt very much at home with her generous hospitality, and warm welcoming demeanor. Overall I highly recommend this stay.
