Linda was the most fantastic hostess. I rented the apartment for my parents who, after visiting my past apartments, were very concerned about where I was placing them. All fears were immediately squashed the moment they walked through the door.

Linda had bought fresh white roses to welcome them to the apartment, which was beautiful with high ceilings and had excellent design aspects. My mother is an interior designer and she thought it was great. It really had a European feel to it actually. It all felt quite romantic with candles and the original floorboards and the little patio at the back and long French doors leading out to it. I was told they slept really well too on the comfortable bed and in the practically silent bedroom (a rarity for NYC). I think their stay just kept getting better and better as the weekend went on.

It also had absolutely everything they needed kitchen, bedroom and bathroom wise. And it was in the perfect location - right around the corner from the subway and within short walking distance to multiple supermarkets, specialty stores, shops and cafes. By the time they left they had the whole neighborhood figured out with new friends and everything.

Linda was as present as you wanted her to be. She gave me her cell phone number and we texted about logistics before check in and at check out. She made the whole thing really easy - probably the easiest check in and out I've ever had on Airbnb. Overall, really positive experience with Linda for sure.

To finish, my parents loved their time there and expressed to me multiple times over the course of their stay that they would definitely stay there again. Noted!
