Tara is the best hostess! Very friendly, flexible, easy to reach and get quick response from. She provided very detailed useful practical information! This contributed to make many everyday things work easy for a NYC-rookie as me - and make me feel completely safe and secure during my stay.

The apartment is homey, comfortable and unique. I love the art and brick wall. It had what I needed during my stay - nice light/bright bathroom, kitchen facility, nice big bed, closet/drawer space for my clothing, couch, AC to beat the heat, wifi and (bonus!) loudspeakers to play music.

Yorkville is a very charming neighborhood. East 87th Street is pleasantly quiet, however, near busy streets where you can find good restaurants and grocery stores. I loved charming Carl Schurz Park located by the East River, just two blocks away (Tara's recommendation!).
I have enjoyed my stay in Tara's home very much! When I come back to New York City (I definitely will) I hope I can rent it again :)
