Rhondas was a perfect host. She was were welcoming (she bought fresh bagels for us when we arrived) and she was so helpful (she arranged a cheap taxi to the aiprort for us). The apartment was super clean, enough space for three people. All in all it was very lovely to stay at her place.
There are only two points we thougt were a bit problematic:
since it's an apartment in the basement and the slepping room is towards it is very noisy all the time. And, especially at night, the area didn't seem very safe. Taking bus at night or walking the 20-30 min from the subway is very tough and takes a long time e.g. from Manhattan. You should take a taxi if you stay there!
Then you will have a great time in Rhonda's house and with her as host. She was lovely!!
