Me and Valentina have been guests of Melanie during the beginning of January. It was a great experience, we really enjoyed the apartment and the kindness of Melanie. She was very sweet and always ready to give us any kind of suggestion and help. We found clean towels, soap, toothpaste and everything useful to make our stay in NY more confortable. Unfortunately we didn't meet so much with Mel, cause we had a really busy time visiting the city. By the way the few occasions were enough to say that she is a great host. The apartment is nice and well located, just 3 min far from the station. The heater is noisy, but this is normal in NYC. The bed is confortable and the room big enough to host our luggage. We definetly suggest to rent this place to enjoy NYC at the best!
