Tamara was a fabulous host! I felt extremely welcomed right from the beginning. She provided me with a little care package of bathroom essentials on my bed when I first arrived, always had a fresh pot of tea ready. She has lived in the city for long time and was very helpful for things to do, places to eat and the best beauty and hair salons to go to! Fresh sheets and towels were always provided and the apartment was always clean. I stayed here for a few weeks and felt like it was my home away from home (which is always a nice feeling when you have been traveling for a while). The apartment is also in a perfect location in Chelsea and close to the subway. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anybody.
