Amal was very helpful and always quick to address any questions we had prior to the stay. Check-in was very smooth and the duplex was as pictured and very clean. It was very comfortable and spacious, even with our party of 7! It was a very convenient location, near Central Park, and although we had the bad luck that the subway station was closed for the weekend, there were replacement shuttle buses that made it fairly convenient to get around. There was also free parking on the street which was a plus! Overall, we were very happy with our experience staying at Amal's place and would not hesitate to stay here again!
