I didn’t have a bad stay, I’d say it was fine. In the beginning I can honestly say I was very annoyed & didn’t want to stay because of some miscommunication & misunderstandings. The day before I was supposed to arrive Christa wrote me with instructions & etc & also mentioned 1. they still had guests staying in the room i would be in & 2. her & her husband would be gone all day for an event & I wouldn’t be able to get into the room until nearly 7pm. (I was arriving 7:30am) So of course I was furious because I was coming from Virginia, never been to NYC before & wouldn’t have anywhere to go until then & nothing was open for me to do. & Who wants to carry bags around all over the city or not have a shower? I mentioned my arrival time weeks before booking but there was a misunderstanding where she thought I’d be exploring the city as soon as I arrived. No ma’am. All she could offer was for me to leave my bags in the hallway of her home. At that point I started looking for somewhere else to stay but it was too last minute so I followed through with Christa’s place (mainly because I had no choice) & by the grace of God the guests that were staying there were leaving the morning I was arriving after all . I guess they didn’t communicate with those guests that well either because she initially said they weren’t leaving until the afternoon. Despite the poor communication Christa is VERY nice. along with her dogs, especially Ollie. Didn’t have any interaction with her husband, he actually seemed pretty tense during the stay. Christa was more welcoming & didn’t mind chatting, which I liked because who wants to stay in a house & not talk to who’s staying there? lol. It’s good to know who’s in your home & vice versa. The room was a nice size with a sky light window. Having a TV in the room was also a plus. The two things that I loved most: key pad entry & the folder of places to visit/eat. It rained a lot during my stay so i didn’t get to try any food there but I thought that was very thoughtful of them. Overall it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
