During my stay in New York, I saw Daphne just rarely and for short times. Nevertheless Daphne is a great host. She is very considerate, pleasant and helpful. If you like, you can have with her great talks about everything. But you also can expect a plenty of privacy, if you like.
A good balance between social contact and sufficient retreat will definitely assured. The apartment was like described clean and comfortable. The room was also clean and spacious. It even has its own entrance and if you come late from your sightseeing-tour, you don´t bother Daphne, if you use it. The neighborhood is also quiet and you are quickly in Manhattan (provided the subway is on time). The walkway to the subway amounts to 15 minutes roughly. Daphne is also flexible regarding a late check out, if your scheduled flight time is late.
All in one was very good. I would recommend it without hesitation. Thank you Daphne ;-)
