Chelsea was an amazing host and quickly became more like a friend, as much as we communicated. Her apartment's location couldn't have been better and let's talk about that Columbus Circle Subway Station... I could spend all day down there (you must try the mini doughnuts)! Chelsea had a LIST of recommendations for us and we are so glad we took her advice. El Centro had the best guacamole that I've ever had and Uncle Mario's had the best tiramisu, ever! Her apartment was exactly as pictured, so cute and tidy. We took our shoes off in the house, out of respect for Chelsea and also, who wants to track New York City street germs into where they walk barefoot? We're from Florida and don't see many fire escapes, so we spent a lot of time out there. Central Park is right around the corner and soooo many restaurants to choose from down 9th. We had a great time for Memorial Day weekend in the Big Apple and I would say a lot of that has to do with how at home we felt in our "home away from home". I can't thank you enough for the hospitality and staying available for my many annoying tourist questions :). I would stay here again, as long as Chelsea would have me! Highly recommend.
