Hi, my name is Delia. I have a clean and neat room in a cozy apartment in Manhattan. There's also an elevator in the building, (which is accessed by going up one flight of stairs). The building is monitored by cameras. I've lived in Manhattan practically all my life. I love to meet different people from all over. I love to travel, to go to broadway shows, and the movies. I would love to share some of my travel experiences with you! I recently retired as an office manager at a Radiologic School in a public hospital in the city.
Please note: The room also has a ceiling fan, iron, hair blower, flat iron, DVD player, mirror, dresser and closet. I provide clean sheets and towels. THERE IS PLENTY OF HAND SANITIZERS, AND HAND SOAPS!! I am constantly wiping down high touched areas with Lysol wipes!
In order to ease guests of payment concerns, guests may pay balances via Paypal or cash upon arrival to the apartment.
Check-in time is 12:00 pm on weekends and 4:00 pm on weekdays. Check-out time is 2:00 pm however, if we discuss ahead of time, I can be flexible with both times.... Just tell me what you need and we can make it happen. I am flexible with cancellations and will issue refunds for early departures resulting in unused nights.
This area is easy enough to walk to other neighborhoods such as Chelsea, China Town, Soho, Noho, China Town, West Village and if you like walking, even to midtown.

Delia was a lovely, delicate and hospitable host. I was very pleased to meet her. Her house was comfortable, very clean and with a very good atmosphere. Everything necessary for living was provided: towels, bed linen, shower set, dishes and so on.The house has a very good location, very close to the center of Manhattan. Metro and buses nearby. The neighbourhood is very quiet and safe. Near many places where you can eat cheaply, close to many supermarkets. I had a great time in new York, I will definitely be back at Delia's house next year. With gratitude and respect to the host, Natalia

Delia was a wonderful host. She is a very friendly and helpful person. She made me feel very comfortable in her apartment, provided a light breakfast of delicious fruits and coffee, bath towels, soap and bath sponge. Her apartment is very clean and tidy. The apartment is in a nice location near the East River and also a few blocks from the 14th Street subway station. It was easy enough to walk around or take the subway.
I would definitely recommend a stay with her, and look forward to seeing her again soon :)
