Charmine is a wonderful host. She's very quick to respond to messages, and met up with my friends and I to show us around the place. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and she had coffee available.
The place itself was incredibly spacious, more than enough room for the six of us. If you're sensitive to noise though be prepared for creaky floors, doors, and pipes. That's all just the make of the building though, I've come to expect these things in NY. The building is also close to the fire station but we didn't hear the sirens in our rooms.
We did have a small ant problem but it was incredibly cold and rainy that day. Charmine responded immediately and sent her husband Gilbert over to help with the issue. After some spray the ants did not return (the weather also improved over the next few days).
The subway and convenience store were within short walking distance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Charmine!
