Susie was an A* host and made us feel so welcome in her and her parents home. We arrived later than expected due to flight delays but I texted Susie and she messaged me an alternative route which was very helpful as I would have stuck to the original one and got totally lost as the J train had stopped running after half 9 which I was unaware of. Once we arrived Susie welcomed us and gave us a tour of the apartment and had left us useful guides and recommendations in our bedroom which was a nice touch. She let us know if we had any problems we could contact her throughout our time in New York which was also reassuring and sweet of her. The apartment itself is as described pretty basic and quite compact however for us it was perfect as we were out and about all day and just spent time there to sleep and shower. The location was so easy to get around the city from with subways and bus stops a short walking distance away.
The day we checked out our flight wasn't until 10pm so Susie let us keep our luggage at the apartment till later in the day so we didn't have to carry it around all day which made life a lot easier too.
Over all, I would recommend to anybody who is looking for an affordable place to stay in the city.
Thanks once again Susie
