Maria was great! She met us at the end of the block and walked us to her home. She gave us a quick tour of the house and was very accommodating of anything we needed! We brought our own breakfast but she had coffee and juice and grapes for us! She's fun to talk to too - as she is from Brazil and has really interesting experiences so we enjoyed getting to know her. She was available for questions or directions anytime via airbnb messages or via text. Really, she was an ideal host. Very helpful, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had a great time in NYC!
