Marcia and her sister were great hosts, very friendly and helpful to a guest that arrived very late! They have two lovely and very sociable cats :) Lovely room with an amazing view of the river. The building is nice and secure with great neighbors and a fantastic Laundry in the basement. Manhattan was easily accessible with the express bus- I purchased the unlimited ticket for $50 as I was going in every day and it worked just fine. Thanks for a lovely comfortable stay, Erin
