New York was great! It's a beautiful city and was definitely worth the trip. We actually even think that 5 days are not enough!
Kestrel was a great host we met her the first day. Communication was perfect we could always reach her and she provided us with all the information we needed. The room we stayed in was small but really cute and we felt comfortable and welcome! We cooked in kestrels kitchen and used her bathroom and it didn't feel weird so the apartment was great!
The area had some cute restaurants and shops around. It is 25 min from NYC though so you had to plan your day because you couldn't just go home quick to get something and come back.
Thank you Kestrel! It was a great experience !
