Valeria was a great host, quick to respond to any questions and flexible in meeting us for check-in after a very late long-haul flight. The apartment is exactly as advertised - beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and plenty of extras (a stocked pantry, toiletries etc) to make our stay comfortable. We were very well connected with 4 subway lines nearby to get us into Manhattan and only a 30 min cab ride from JFK. Bagel Market on 7th Ave nearby does great bagels and Prospect Park round the corner is definitely worth a look!
We would definitely recommend staying at Valeria's apartment and as first time visitors to NYC, we can't wait to come back!
