Cynthia makes you feel at home immediately , and her home is a fabulous and special place to stay when visiting NYC . Her home is wonderful with thought given to every detail from the mosaic on the kitchen wall, the Aladdin treasure cave rooms ,the gorgeous bathroom and the stunning living room. But even more lovely is Cynthia herself , who takes care of her guests from the morning smoothies to the evening welcome when you return after a day in the city. I feel really lucky that I stayed with her and will come back next year.
