Ming is a fantastic host. I can not even count the ways. I had read the reviews about her great hospitality and also her philosophy of life and she really lives it. I think Howard hit the nail on the head when he said she is so friendly and you feel so comfortable right away. I agree with him. She goes from total stranger to welcome relative or friend instantly. No in-between awkwardness. She is a real artist is that regard. It is no easy thing to share a space with such grace and she makes it seem like the most natural thing in the world.
The room was very nice in a neighborhood of brownstones. Such a treat for us coming from Eugene where we don't have much of a history of historical buildings. She had everything we needed and helped me out so much when I was having trouble with booking a ride to the airport. I am definitely going to stay there again when I go to New York.
