By now I have lived longer in the city than the country however I feel equally at home in each. I like to keep one foot in each and help others to do the same!

Greta has been a great host, and her apartment a great place to stay. Perfectly located for our adventures around NYC, it is a place full of character and, as I see it, a very authentic NY Apartment that makes you feel at home imediately. Great neighbourhood, great infrastructure around the apartment block. Very good for a perfect stay.

Greta was wonderful. We arrived late at night and she made sure we were able to get in. We also had to transfer to a hotel for work, and she allowed us to keep our belongings there until 3 so we wouldn't be carting our luggage until we needed to. The apartment was clean and large and in a wonderful neighborhood. She had lists and menus of places to eat. I couldn't have been happier with our arrangement. Thanks Greta!

Greta's place is very well located, so close to the MTA 1 line, which takes you up and down Manhattan, which was perfect for me. It was an easy 3 minute walk and be on your way to anywhere in NY. The shower is something else, the best water pressure I have experienced in a long time. I thought the decor was cool and eclectic, Greta must have an artistic streak. The Murphy bed was comfortable, and the AC unit (not pictured) kept it nice and cool. Although I didn't meet her, she arranged for a neighbor to meet me and show me in. He was cool and so were any other neighbors that I met. She also left a list of suggestions where to shop and eat, along with menus which was helpful when I needed a late night meal. Highly recommended.
