Booked Ester's place for my parents when we came to visit family in NYC. Ester was the most thoughtful and accommodating host we could possibly hope for -- despite her busy schedule she took time to prepare breakfast every morning and always made sure her guests were comfortable. The room was spacious and warm, and the apartment is located in a very safe, diverse neighbourhood close to the train station (straight to Manhattan), shops and restaurants. It was our first time in New York but we had no trouble getting around at all. We had a wonderful experience and cannot recommend her highly enough!
