There is not enough time in the world for me to explain fully how wonderful an experience it was to stay with Angie. The apartment itself was clean, in an interesting and vibrant (and safe!) neighborhood in a part of Manhattan all should see. It is within easy access of the A line, which will take you anywhere in Manhattan or Brooklyn. It is also the line which takes you to and from JFK airport, which is incredibly convenient for international travelers, tired from a long journey, who do not want to navigate a long series of changes and stops after hours on a plane.
Angie herself is just incredible. She is far and away the kindest Airbnb host I have ever stayed with. She was always available to chat, or give recommendations or advice about New York (a city she knows well). She responded so quickly to text messages or calls, and her sister was there when she was not. She also keeps the refrigerator and cupboards well stocked with fruit, yogurt, eggs, milk, cereal, peanut butter and water bottles. My girlfriend joined us from France, and Angie went out of her way to buy croissants to greet her! I absolutely plan to stay with her the next time I am in New York, and am going to recommend her to everyone I know traveling to New York. Seriously - she is awesome, and does this thing right.
