This is my first time in NYC and I love Karene's apartment. It was very clean, spacious, bright with natural light and very cozy like home. I stayed here for one month and I had no problem with the apartment at all - the bathroom, the kitchen - everything worked just fine. The location is great too. Close to everything with lots of great restaurants near by. I can walk to my school on fifth avenue very easily and the subway just mins away. Very convenient. Karene is a wonderful host. She met up with me on the first day to showed me around the apartment and gave me list of places to check out. She was very easy to communicate, very helpful and always accessible. She kept in touch with me during my stay to make sure that I have a comfortable stay in her apartment. I had to extend my stay for one night on a very short notice and she made it possible. Thank you so much Karene for all your help. Very appreciated :) I will definitely stay here again when I come back to NYC.
