Me and my teenage daughter stayed with Aracelis for 10 days. As soon as I entered, I felt like home. Having no problem installing myself, using her kitchen equipment and putting my own groceries in her fridge. And after long walks around the city my daughter had no problems throwing herself on her couch, finding it very reposing. Her home is very welcoming and looks like described on the photos. The apartment is very close to the subway, the L line, which is very convenient as it has several subways connections a long it's way. Aracelis is a friendly host, she's there to answer questions about the city but also available for ordinary small talk as well as more deep conversations about life. At the same time she respected our privacy, not forcing conversations on us as this was a mother/daughter trip. This was a very good first experience of airbnb and If I go to NYC again, and chose to stay in the same area, I would most probably book with Aracelis again.
