Description
My late husband and I spent so much time in New York that we considered it our second home. Sadly, I don't have a second home of my own there, so I'd love to stay in yours. I prefer lower Manhattan, where I have good friends. At least 1 bedroom (or a very large studio) with lots of light and easy access to transit ()no walk-ups, please. I'm very responsible and can provide lots of local references. For more about me, please see my Sabbatical Homes listing #54289. I look forward to hearing from you! https://www.sabbaticalhomes.com/OfferedDetails.aspx?id=54289

About Me
My late husband was a writer and university professor (San Francisco State) who spent much of his time playing the guitar. I'm a free-lance writer, editor, and writing coach with a special love for improvisational theater. We have two children and two grandchildren who are all busy living their lives. Travel was our passion, and it still is for me. We loved vibrant cities like Paris, Rome, and New York where we could immerse ourselves in the local culture, explore out-of-the way places, and find wonderful places to eat.
