I had a fantastic time staying at Cecily’s apartment. The apartment was exactly as described, and in a great location on the lower east side of Manhattan. There were plenty of good restaurants and bars within walking distance and it was a quick stroll to the subway which can take you to everywhere else in New York City. The neighbourhood was safe to walk around in at night and had a great vibe. The apartment was the perfect size for our group of four, it was open and spacious, and we all had plenty of room to ourselves.

It was also my first time using airbnb and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The whole process went very smoothly and we had no problems at all. Picking up and dropping off the keys was very easy, and Cecily was always available by phone to check that everything was okay or answer any questions we had. Overall we had a wonderful time in New York City and can’t wait to go back. I highly recommend Cecily as a host.
