I think that Beth is the perfect person to host people. Not only is she kind and respectful, but she is extremely knowledgable about NYC. If she wanted, she could probably free lance as an urban tour guide!
The neighborhood where she lives is safe and it's not very far from the subway. We were pleased to see that there was space to park our car, yippee! She made breakfast every morning and was definitely available if we needed anything.
As a an Air BNBer, we felt that she actually cared about us. The home was clean. The room that we stayed in was very spacious and the bed was nice and cozy. The restroom is beautiful and clean. She has 4 cats that all have a personality of their own, including one that sneezes. I've never seen that before.
Overall, if you're looking for somewhere to stay where you won't just be money to a host, but treated like a curious traveler, please consider staying with Beth, she's as cool as they come.
