While I didn't have the chance to meet Jacqui in person (as she was out of town), I was able to get a sense of her warm personality through her charming apartment. Jacqui had a friend play host in her absence - who was polite but not very personable making it a bit awkward at times. However, prior to my trip Jacqui had provided thorough instructions which were extremely helpful. She also checked in to make sure me and my guests had settled in well.

While the neighborhood wasn't the 'hippest' part of BK, it was convenient and safe and offered more of a real-NYC experience. Two things I recommend in the neighborhood: Cinnamon Girl coffee shop 2 blocks away is AMAZING and download the HAIL cab app as finding a cab seemed difficult at times.

Overall, my sister and I had a good experience. Tidy, but not the cleanest. Great for the price and attentive host. I'd stay here again and recommend it to my friends.
