We can definitely recommend staying with Constance. We enjoyed her hospitality for 3 days and only have positive things to say. The room is spacious, clean, private, wonderfully decorated (as is the rest of the house) and the bed is heavenly. There is stuff to make tea, some snacks, water and we're pretty sure that if we felt that something was missing (wasn't the case), Constance would have fixed it for us right away.

The apartment may be located a little further from manhattan than many others on airbnb, but there's a subway stop almost around the corner and from there you'll just hop on the express and you're in manhattan in no time.

The area isn't very interesting in itself, but safe, also late at night. There's many restaurants, boutiques, etc. a short busride away.

Constance wasn't around all the time (she also has a live of course) but we had plenty of time to chat, she gave us some very good tips on restaurants and stuff to do.

In short, perfect place to sleep and unwind in NYC! Highly recommended!
