We loved staying at Kimberly's place! I have been to NYC 3 times and this was by far my favorite place I've stayed. Kimberly lives on the 2nd floor in a really modern/clean/cozy apartment. The room is Huge for NYC and probably average for a Texas home. Kim makes candles and the place smells aamaaazing. I wish i would have bought some but it really just slipped my mind. I consider myself a person that is allergic to cats but i love them so much that i am around them anyways. There was no cat or dog hair and i didn't sneeze at all which is a rarity (maybe my allergy shots are finally working??). The place is so close to everything. We walked to Artichoke Basille's pizza, china town, little Italy and my favorite, Clinton st. bakery. You're able to walk to union square and take the subway or uber everywhere for really cheap. We preferred uber. It was raining and Kim offered us her umbrella. I also forgot my makeup remover and she was quick to help. She didn't make us feel like a burden at all, felt right at home. Her husband Steve is really nice, he used to box and although looks tough is just a really nice person. We arrived early and i think this shocked them a bit but they were so flexible with us! Highly recommend. Download Lyft and uber before you stay here, i recommend using lyft line and uber pool. Dress warm! NYC is cold! wear walking shoes! prepare to have fun
