Catia is a sweetheart! She is honest up front about her plants and pillows. :) The place is smaller than I imagined so I felt a little bit cramped trying to maneuver around the plants, but everything was clean and she left sweet notes around the place. The noise didn’t bother us at all, but it was hot, so be aware if traveling in the summer. We didn’t sleep well because of that, even though the bed was super comfy. Very communicative, perhaps too much and too early at times, but I know that was because she is eager to be a good hostess. Lots of tips and suggestions and just overall good vibes from a sweet and kind person. Once Airbnb adds its ridiculous fees on top of Catia’s price, you end up paying within dollars of some nice hotels in Times Square. That is sad to me for both the hostess and travelers. Would likely stay again in the winter if traveling solo. Thank you for being so friendly!
