I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Roberta, but I had a great time staying in her place. It was plenty spacious, comfortable and clean. It is close to public transportation, bodegas, coffee shops, and bars. It's real New York. Roberta was a great host - she always responded to any emails I sent, she left the light on for me as I arrived very late, and I'm confidant she would have been there had I needed anything more - I didn't. I would gladly stay there again.
