Emma was a great host; courteous, accommodating and friendly. The apartment itself is very comfortable, with a nice back patio. It is conveniently located close to the 145 st subway stations for the 1 and the A/C/E trains, which makes it easy to get to lower Manhattan as well as Brooklyn. The neighborhood is safe, and there is a nice walking area half a block away on riverside drive. I would definitely consider staying here again during my next NYC visit.
