I don’t think it’s possible to find a better host then Danielle! I had the best experience and it is all due to her. First off the nicest person on the planet and she is beyond welcoming. I could be in contact with her whenever/wherever, was great to have a chat and a wine with, had shelves ready for me, she typed out the best food places/ activities to do, knew how to get anywhere in NYC and had a great place to match.
The room was very NY with the brick walls, fitted a queen bed comfortably, built in closet and a big chest of draws. THERE WAS AIRCON IN EACH ROOM (NYC in summer gets very very hot and I was there during a heatwave so it was very helpful). The living room was well decorated with a couch, bar with stools, lounge chair, tv and everything you would need in a kitchen.
The location was heaven as it’s just around the corner from the Q train which takes you straight down town. It was a 15min walk to Central Park and also had many great restaurants around it. I felt safe the entire time which as a single traveler was important.
I can’t wait to come back and stay as Danielle and her apartment are heaven!
