I was looking for a place close to me in Kensington for my friends to stay while in NYC for a couple of day and Nicole's place worked great for us. The apartment is very close to the subway so an easy commute to all that my friends wanted to see while in NYC. The apartment is a basement apartment, so not sunny, but it is nicely decorated, very clean, has everything you could want during your stay. The bathroom is especially nice. My friends, a family of four, were very happy and comfortable there. And Nicole was a responsive, accommodating, and nice host. I appreciated how quick and helpful she was during my initial search for a place for my friends (before I had even landed on specific dates). Her communications once we booked the apartment were clear and had all of the information we needed. She was also very responsive during my friends' stay. I would definitely book Nicole's place again
