Stephanie was a great host via email! Though out of town, her email check-in and check out instructions were very clear and once arrived, her multi-page welcome guide had all the details one needs from wifi password to local neighborhood suggestions.

As for the place itself, the building itself is old and w/o an elevator which actually made us feel less guilty about stuffing our faces. It felt really homey with everything one needs...plus great natural lighting given that it's on the top floor. Only downside was that in the evenings and around bedtime, the local bar scene is quite active so street noise did not die down until after 2-3am. No fault of Stephanie though...we were OK with it but do expect a bit of noise given the neighborhood that it's in (the positive side is that it's near a ton of great eats and bars!). Only 5 mins walk to the L station and < 15 min walk to Astor Place or Union Sq stations. Be sure to check out the Sat farmers market at Union Sq!

Bottom line - definitely would recommend!!! Thanks again Stephanie!
