I was in New York City for a month and her place was super amazing. It was within walking distance of a subway station and grocery stores. The neighborhood is nice and friendly, albeit a little dirty. The apartment itself was very clean and orderly. The room was cozy, had a desk for my online work, and thankfully had air conditioner for the heat wave that shadowed my trip. My favorite part of her home was the kitchen because it had all the things I need to prepare meals. My favorite kitchen asset was the blender and I made smoothies almost every morning, which gave me a little smile at the start of each day.
Claudina herself was one of the nicest hosts I ever met. She greeted me on my arrival, guided me through her house, and made accommodations that I requested. If I needed some appliances she brought it up for me to use. When I was having an urgent issue in the middle of the night she was there to answer my messages. When she wasn't there her son did a good job in her place. One of the most considerate things she did was install an air conditioner in my room. I did not expect that and if it wasn't for that I would have been miserable on this trip cause it was just so unbelievably hot for most of my time in the city.
I seriously recommend her home.
