Joseph was the perfect host. Warm, engaging, efficient, he went out of his way to make my stay an amazing one. Despite a busy Wall Street schedule, he actually offered on both my arrival and departure, to catch the subway with me, and help me carry my bags. My previous airbnb stay, was quite close to his apartment, and so I naively thought I could just do it all via subway. I am someone who is incapable of travelling light, and when I was done packing and saw how much I had accumulated, I ditched that idea, and caught a cab! When I arrived, I was running late, but Joseph waited, and assisted me with carrying all my luggage up the stairs, and into his warm and cosy apartment. which is situated a few blocks from a major subway line, and within walking distance of some great shops, and restaurants, all with a classic New York flavour. If youre travelling alone, or as a couple, forget hotels, forget sharing with someone else, when for a great price, you get an entire apartment to yourself! The apartment is stylish, and homely, and a perfect place to have as a base while exploring the neighbourhood, and the rest of the city. After a long day, I couldnt wait to get back home, where I could cook, watch a multitude of channels on the big screen HD TV in the comfy lounge, and settle into what must surely be one of the most comfortable beds Ive ever slept in while travelling. In a city that can be cold in winter, but also somewhat cold hearted to travellers, it was a blessing to find such a cosy apartment, and such a warm and generous host.
