Where do I even start?! Yemi was such an amazing host!
First of all, he was very quick to reply to all of my questions before our trip.
When the time came, I warned him that our flight had an extremely early arrival but Yemi graciously agreed to meet with us anyway before running off to work. (We landed at JFK and it was a 20-25 minute uber ride to the apartment.) My friend and I were running late so I messaged him in advance but he insisted on waiting to greet us. We received a tour of this BEAUTIFUL place and he even had the apartment equipped with some essentials for us. After showing us around the apartment, he showed us a map of the city (including subway routes) and a few menus in case we wanted to order food during our stay. Finally, he gave us detailed directions for how to get to the subway and even drove us around the vicinity to show us the closest subway stops.
My friend and I went into the city everyday and it only took us about 30-45 minutes in the subway to get to where we needed to go. The neighborhood was great and everyone was super friendly so we felt completely safe walking around at all hours. At night, we would come home relatively late so that was the only time we chose to use Uber as opposed to the subway.
Our stay was during the week of Thanksgiving so we walked to the grocery store that was a couple of blocks away and got everything we needed. There was was plenty of fridge space and cupboards for storage. We used the kitchen and all appliances at our disposal and it truly felt like we were making Thanksgiving dinner at home.
Yemi checked in about once a day just to make sure everything was going well but there were no problems whatsoever; everything was absolutely perfect.
