We had a lovely time staying with Nicole. Her place is about 15 minutes on foot from the M and J trains which get you into Manhattan in 30 minutes or so, and about 10 minutes from a big supermarket. The apartment itself is clean, extremely roomy, and easy to relax in. There's a living room, kitchen, study, bedroom, and a very nice bathroom. While I did not see Nicole while staying at her place, she was a very prompt communicator and very friendly. A personalized welcome note and virtual check-ins allowed us to feel her hospitality despite not meeting her face-to-face. I would love to stay with Nicole in the future and would 100% recommend her place to others who are hoping to visit New York :)
