Kate was a great host, you wont have any concerns of issues with her. Easy to talk to, friendly and made me feel welcome. She went out of her way to make me feel like its my home aswell. The location is only a 2 min walk to the F train, which takes you directly to Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park...most if not all the major sites. There's a McDonalds right next door if you're into that, it can be convienent. Staying at her place was a true authentic NY experience as its a Railway Apartment, one of the older long skinny types in a real rustic lower eastside location. I had no issues returning/walking back home at 11pm or later. Great spot for a real true experience.
