Todd’s place is in a great location, directly across the street from The Cloisters. Nearby, the Tryon Public House has good, reasonably priced food in a spacious atmosphere. Also enjoyed New Leaf restaurant nearby with great views of the city in a very nice setting.
I only stayed two nights so I didn’t get a really broad overview of the neighborhood, but it seems very safe, friendly, and family oriented.
Todd was a very accessible host and clearly concerned with the wellbeing of his guests.
