Adrienne was very welcoming considering she was very busy. We didn't see much of her because we were often gone as well, but when we did she was very nice and accommodating. Her place was the perfect place for my friend and I to stay while siteseeing NYC. The apt is close to two subway stations and it saved us a lot of time and money using those everyday. The only thing to consider is that there is no AC, but it really wasn't a problem for us because there were fans and we were used to the hot/humid weather. Overall we had a great first experience with Airbnb and Adrienne's apt. Definitely great value for money!
