Ada was an excellent host. She valued our privacy when we needed it, and was very sociable and helpful when we passed through the hallway or needed advice. We could hardly tell she was there at times. The apartment is clean, quiet, well organized and attractive. The photos don't do the place justice. She supplied us with plenty of breakfast choices, including fresh fruit. The neighborhood felt safe even at night. The location is ideal with the museum, botanical gardens, the park and the library just a short walk away. There's plenty of transportation choices into Manhattan. We had no problem parking our rental car on the street as well. The elevator came in handy for our arrival but went out of order through no fault of our host.

Now that Ada has airbnb on her cell phone, she can finally respond more quickly to bookings. This is a hidden gem. We are recommending this place to our friends and family.
