Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Mei-yann as she was out of town when I arrived. It was easy to communicate with her by email and she was friendly and welcoming. She also provided me with a couple of phone numbers in case of problems but there was no need for me to call her. She made a very convenient easy arrangement to get a key to me. Her apartment was as advertised. It was clean, had all the amenities as advertised, in a very convenient location a very short distance from subways and Central Park. The bed was very comfortable. The apartment was quiet, in a neighbourhood where I felt comfortable and safe walking the streets at night. The apartment was uncluttered and furnished simply. There was no dining room table but there is a comfortable couch and meals could be eaten at several coffee tables (I only ate breakfast in the apartment as I was out most of the days). The kitchen utensils were very adequate for cooking. As I was in NY during a hot time in August, the hallways were quite warm and there was some odour in the main entrance corridor and some other hallways from what I believe was the garbage collecting bin in the basement. There was no odour in the apartment. I would expect that there would be no hallway odour if it was not so hot. The air conditioning worked well and kept the apartment comfortable. Overall my experience was positive and I would stay at Mei-yann's place again if it was available when I visit New York. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for accommodation which is clean and comfortable at the north end of Central Park, which is where I wanted to stay.
