What can I say for Emily and Lou? They are absolutely wonderful hosts! More than welcoming, their breakfast was delicious and made with so compassion. Lets just say that I didn't like papayas, but once Lou made his smoothie made out of papaya, orange juice and banana, I instantly fell in love. Their apartment is in a very safe area in Astoria, where walking at night was not a problem. The cleanliness was next to godliness! I was super comfortable staying over, and Emily and Lou had wonderful tips what was going around NY. Emily and Lou were my first Airbnb experience, and I'm holding up all my Airbnb experiences to this standard.
