For our short 3-days trip to NYC we got the opportunity to stay at Veronica's apartment. One thing we really appreciated was her flexibility at the check-in and check-out: She adjusted her schedule to our arrival time so that we could bring and leave our luggage at her place for the sightseeing. Also, she took time to give us some recommendations for sightseeing and everything was prepaired when we returned in the evening. All in all, the whole stay was really comfortable, so that I definitely would first ask her for accomodation before checking other places, when coming to NY the next time.
