I was trying to find a place to stay in NY and Caitlin was immediately very friendly and responsive and she even accomodated her own agenda to fit my dates. The place is so great. First, Caitlin is an awesome, hard working woman with such a good and sincere heart, I cannot dream of a better host. During my stay she either was away or working at night, so basically I had the flat for me most of the time, with just the right input by Caitlin to keep it friendly, convenient and welcoming at all time. Second, the place is super well located, (literally) 2 minutes from an express bus stop. 40 / 45 minutes trip and I was downtown Manhattan. My life could not have been easier. At the same stop there is also a bus that goes to the ferry. The neighbourhood is a green, quiet, posh, very safe upper middle class neighbourhood, with shops and a few restaurants next to the bus stop. So convenient. Third, Caitlin puts a lot of effort to keep the place in top notch condition. It is so clean. The bed is very comfortable and the bedroom is very clean, the bathroom is super clean, the kitchen also is so clean and well equiped! Fourth, there is all you need and Caitlin is so helpful. Wifi, linen, iron, microwave,... you name it. Life is so easy, Caitlin even arranged a laundry pick up for me. In French we say "logé, nourri, blanchi". I had the chance to meet her brother who is the only person who visited Caitlin during my stay. He was so friendly and has equally a heart in gold. Finally, the cherry on the cake is that you wont find such a place at such a good price anywhere else in Manhattan. Best deal on airbnb EVER.
Bottomline: I could not ever dreamt of a better stay in NY and really I feel so lucky. Thank you so much, Caitlin for you have been such a perfect host.
