First, I have to start off by saying that Melanie was a fabulous and thoughtful hostess and we cannot thank her enough for opening up her home to us! She was extremely accommodating, always quick to answer any questions we had and made sure we settled in ok! In regards to the place itself, it was clean and bright and in a great neighborhood on the UWS. We particularly loved all the decor in her place from her travels and the wealth of information she provides you in terms of food recommendations. If you need a place to stay in the city, this spot is perfect. We can’t recommend Melanie and her home enough and hope we have the opportunity to stay there again in the future!
