This was our first shared experience, and the host was fantastic. My husband and I took our 3 teenage nephews to NY for their first trip on a plane/out of state and it was such a wonderful trip! We arrived on a rainy morning and the host was so kind to let us check in our luggage early so that we didn't have to lug it around all day. We were also provided with breakfast during our stay (eggs, waffles, cereal) if we decided to cook or utilize anything in the kitchen, the fridge was also stocked daily with beverages (sodas, water, Gatorade, juice) for us throughout our stay, which definitely came in handy upon our return after our long days walking and sightseeing around the city. The house was spotless and kept that way, the host provided plenty of towels for us, and toiletries if needed. The bedding was very comfortable to sleep in and an air mattress with extra blankets and pillows were available if needed. Our host was very generous and kind, my family and I enjoyed our stay!
