My experience in New York has been awesome where Ty and his house has played a major part of it.
The place is clean, cozy and well equipped. The location is strategic and superb. Best still is Ty who is genuinely the Superhost!
IF so happened that TY is not in the town during my stay but he has informed me upfront that his friend will be the host instead before confirming the reservation. He has been very transparent and I am glad that I proceeded to stay in his place.
Despite we unable to meet, I did feel the "virtual" hospitality provided by Ty before, during and after the stay via offline conversation. He texted me to ensure that I able to properly check in, my stay is alright and offer help if i needed. Also, Ty provided advice for my travel to catch my flight and ensure a smooth check out. Of course, the hospitality of Ty's friend is great too to ensure I am properly being taken care of.
All in all, I feel safe and welcoming despite 1st time visiting such a big city. A great place to stay especially to 1st time visitor of NY.
cheers
