We were a group of 14 visiting New York on a short break and actually rented out the top apartment in Kimberly’s home as well as the two bedrooms and living space on the second floor.
Kimberly has a beautiful home; the pictures simply do not do it justice. It was impeccably clean and was cleaned every day during our stay. Kimberly also provided an everlasting supply of towels which was handy and usually only expected in a hotel. The Apartment was equipped with TV, Wi-Fi and the Kitchen was also stocked well with utensils and cleaning products. Kimberly also provided basic breakfast items like eggs, bread, water and juice which was a nice touch.
We came from all over the US and England so had different check-in and check-out times. Kimberly ensured there was a smooth transition for everyone arriving/departing. Even during the booking process Kimberly was very helpful in organizing the sleeping arrangements and even hosting an event at her property the weekend we were there.
In terms of location (commuting into NYC) Newark Penn station isn’t too far from Kimberly’s place where you can get a train straight into NY Penn Station which was super convenient. In regards to the area itself there were a few shops nearby and a McDonald’s but for the most part not much happening in the neighborhood which was okay for us.
Kimberly the host is really bubbly and was available whenever we needed her during our stay. As I mentioned before we were a group of 14 ranging from 19-28 and so constantly had questions that Kimberly was happy to answer. The neighbours were also really friendly and introduced themselves when we arrived which was cool.
All in all a great stay in a beautiful home with a welcoming host – I’ll definitely be back! (:
