We had a week in New York at Robin's SpaHa loft - 4 middle aged Aussie women in East Harlem - no problem.! We were close to and thus used the subway and bus system. Robin was a terrific host and explained how everything worked, gave us detailed information on everything we needed and even directed us to the local Baptist gospel church for Easter. We felt safe the whole time- and we did come home at night after 10:00pm on occasions.
The loft is wonderful, comfy beds, lots of room, well appointed, excellent laundry and kitchen. Clean and quiet. All our expectations were met and exceeded!
Robyn was great - before we arrived she had emailed me and then arranged a driver to pick us up at the Airport - all of which was really helpful.
I can't think of a single negative thing and if I were to go back I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
It was a great experience staying there, we had a wonderful host and a wonderful time in the big apple!
