Hardly scared of hotels or downtown, was standing on subway platforms at 4 in the morning counting rats when you were a child, but putting guests in one is not true hospitality. None of my square footage is wasted. It is full of antiques, books and rare plants for all my friends and guests to enjoy. Living in the city is about space if you want to entertain graciously, downtown is not about students living in garrets.

Having lots space in the city, by definition, requires more money than most have. There are exceptions, of course, but because the standard of living in the city is higher, so is the cost of living.

I'm with you. Half of the family/friend visit is sitting around in your jammies in the evenings after activities or early in the AM before the days start. I could never put guests in a hotel unless I had so many there wasnt' room. And that would be a lot.
