Lynne is the best host! She was so helpful and welcoming! - both before I arrived and all throughout my stay. I'm so grateful! I was a little nervous traveling to NYC all by myself, but she made me feel right at home and that I was in good hands there! She gave me great suggestions and tips for getting around the city that help me save money and get around most efficiently. She also suggested some great places to eat and things to do. I had such a great time on my stay!!!! The apartment is in a wonderful area, near great restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, the Met, and Central Park (which I loved!!!). The doormen in the building are very friendly and helpful. The room was perfect for me and the bed was very comfortable and clean. The room also had an air conditioner, which was nice to have on some days, since I stayed during the first week of June. There is some normal street noise outside, but not too bad. The location in general is great. Her apartment has a nice full kitchen, but I only used it to make tea in the mornings as I was out and about most of the time. I really enjoyed talking with Lynne, catching her up on my adventures, or catching up with her before I headed out for the day. I felt genuinely cared for. I wished I could have stayed longer!
