I stayed in Becky & Andrew's place as for a couple of weeks as i relocated to New York. Their place extremely big which i was shocked about having stayed with friends previously in NY and then during my apartment hunt i realized just how spacious theirs was!
I was welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and some coffee beans, and they were polite and courteous in showing me around the flat, and giving me some tips. Their place was maybe a 3min walk from the station Max, and located near convenience stores and a few tasty spots to eat. It took me about 45 mins to get into Midtown, and the train lines 2&3 are direct and there's no need to change. We had a very minor plumbing hiccup with the bathtub filling, however i wanted i'm pointing this out because Becky & Andrew sorted it out within just 1 day without any bother to me whilst i was out and about which is more important.
They were also on hand any time i messaged them for advice about places to eat or if i needed to borrow something.
I actually found a place to live within 2 weeks, and originally had booked their place for a month so i ended up leaving early - kindly they said if somebody was to lease the flat that they would try and help refund me within reason of costs. Whether or not somebody else books it, i found this very genuine and considerate of them.
