Joanna’s house is incredible. It s big and clean. Still, there are only two bedrooms for 4 guests.
The main asset is the way that it’s decorated, full of antiques, with pictures of the family, you feel the story of the building and most important, it gives you a true picture of how a family can live in NYC.
In other words, it s the total opposite of some apartments specially designed for Airbnb, cold and furnished by IKEA.
This asset unfortunately implies that you have to deserve the privilege to stay at Joanna’s place. As it s her personal house, she will ask you “why, with who, how...” you will stay at her place. Rules are pretty strict. Still, I totally understand this as it would be very hard for me to rent my house to strangers... but still, it feels a little awkward at first :)
Overall, it was a wonderful stay for my wife and her girlfriends (I was only there for an afternoon)
