I really enjoyed staying with Sharon. The room is lovely and spacious. The bed is so comfortable! I could sleep very well!!
The location is nice. You can go to Manhattan by subway or ferry. Ferry is relaxing and easy. I love it!
I definitely want to stay again when I go back to NY. Sharon, I can't thank you enough. You have a heart of gold!
初めてのホームステイでしたがSharonとの生活はとても楽しく快適でした。部屋は荷物を広げたり寛いだりするにも十分な広さがあり、特にベッドは大変心地よく、旅の疲れが一晩で取れました。
マンハッタンへのアクセスも良く、ミュージカルの夜の回を観た後もUberで簡単に帰って来られます。外から帰って来た時にSharonは温かく迎えてくれ、安心して滞在できます。
またニューヨークへ行った際はぜひSharonの家に滞在したいと思います。

We really enjoyed our stay with Sharon who is so welcoming and accommodating. She took us at very short notice with our two children and was very warm and helpful. It’s a wonderful house in a vibrant area. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and stay again if back in New York.

Sharon welcomed us warmly and was available for any questions throughout our stay. We enjoyed the big room, private bathroom and cozy bed. In the room we had a big fridge, table and 2 chairs, so that we could also have snacks and prepared our trips to NYC. A bus stop is near by. We enjoyed a great stay. Thanks!
