My space is lovely, surrounded by gardens, quiet (except for occasional nights in the summer) and right in Manhattan ("the city")with easy access to transportation to all tourist sites. I live in an area which is populated with all nationalities, with a particularly Spanish flavor.

The room is simple, small, quiet, with all that a weary traveler could ever need, including the most comfortable bed in the world. It is located right next to the bathroom.

Guest access: There is internet access (wifi) throughout the apartment; there's a large garden in which i'm a member right up the block (with chickens who are allowed to roam free at different times); two blocks up, there is a long stretch that provides a lovely place (along the river) to jog, walk or sit and meditate. There is a cable tv here and sometimes my guests will sit and watch a movie with me. I play a medley of music during my guest's breakfast as well as throughout the day, if you are here.

This is a purely vegan kitchen, so I do not like ANY animal products in it. Of course since cheese does not grow from the ground, nor eggs dangle off trees, they can't be considered vegetation and those who consume them really can't be called VEGetarians.

I have a large refrigerator, a Vitamix Blender, a Juicer, glass pots, etc. My preference, however, is that people enjoy the rich breakfast I offer, and eat the rest of their meals exploring the food offered in vegan and veg friendly restaurants throughout this city, including not far from here.

I speak several languages - not fluently - but sufficiently to facilitate communication. (French, Spanish and i'm learning German). I studied Russian for three years in college. Also I know some sign language. I am happy to speak in the language of your choice.
