Kristine was a fantastic host! Her place was clean, comfortable and close to public transit. She ensured that we had everything we needed, including umbrellas on the few days that it rained. Her apartment is a beautiful New York apartment with loads of character, and she isn't lying about the stairs-- but it's good exercise after eating your heart out in the city! If you are looking to explore the city, this is the place to do it from as it's close to many surrounding neighbourhoods, which are only a subway or bus ride away.
