Kristen was an attentive, thoughtful and easy going host making the entire experience as effortless as possible. The apartment is quiet, tastefully decorated and spacious with tons of natural light, with an unusually large (particularly for NYC) kitchen with a Berkey water filter, very private with zero neighbors sharing the floor, the bed is comfortable and the linens soft. Kristen has provided everything you might need, including tea, paper towels, condiments, etc. For additional needs, a bodega is located just downstairs for convenience and the subway impossibly close. There are streaming services accessible through the television and a bluetooth speaker. The apartment served as a welcoming and warm sanctuary from the bustle of the city to which I someday hope to return.
