Serena is the best host I've had the pleasure of enjoying. From the business end, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and sensitive. From a personal perspective, she is such great company as a human being that from the very first moment, not only was there zero awkwardness and/or uncertainty, but there was great conversation and enjoyable time together. I personally enjoyed that but there's no question if you are more private she is respectful of that as well. She is bright, engaging, funny and just a truly lovely person. If you love cats, she has a winner, Joy, who is sweet, fluffy and a great companion if you happen to be hanging out. The apartment itself is very modern, clean and comfortable with plenty of space to work, lounge, cook, etc. I happen to love Chelsea and you are walking distance from art galleries, great restaurants, the village and so much more. Also, and very key, you are literally at the subway station for the one train up or downtown and two minutes walk from Penn Station which will get you pretty much wherever you want to go. You cannot possibly go wrong here and you will go delightfully right.
