Carmel was a lovely host! My sister and I both stayed at her apartment for a total of 7 days and we had an amazing trip! Carmel was very responsive to our texts/emails/calls and very flexible. This was our first time using AIRBNB and so we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but Carmel and her apartment made it an awesome experience! Our flight was delayed upon arrival and our check-in time was initially around 4PM, but we arrived at around 10PM and she greeted us at her door and gave a little orientation/welcoming tour of her home. Her apartment is GREAT! Located just 6 minutes away from 3 main stations (very easy to find) and a lot of 24 hour stores/restaurants nearby. The room we stayed in was lovely, it was the perfect size and her living room is exactly as portrayed in the pictures! Carmel was busy with other travels, thus we barely got to see her but that was fine since my sister and I were never really home either. Overall, if I were to travel to NYC again, I would definitely stay at Carmel's apartment again! We had an amazing experience! Thank you so so much for being so flexible Carmel and letting us stay at your lovely apartment!
