Sam and Emily's place was awesome. There was seamless communication and had lots of tips to offer us first timers to NYC. They have a pretty advanced deadbolt (okay, advanced for us Tennesseans, but probably not to the rest of society) that I basically messed up on, which triggered a notification sent directly to them indicating someone was at their door trying to get in. They were so understanding when I assured them it was just me and my mistake. The community is vibrant, which was really fun for us. I felt safe with my 7-year old daughter. The house rules and departing instructions were concise and understandable. The bed and rest of the amenities were very comfortable and the bathroom in the middle of the apartment is awesome!
