E + M are great hosts! They go above and beyond to make sure their guests feel comfortable and cared for. The bedding is super comfortable, which is really important to me - I slept great. This is NYC and the apartment is on a busy avenue, so you might hear traffic noise during the week if you're in the street facing room. Something to consider, if you are prone to sleeping in past 8:30am. But there are also plenty of rooms to choose from that aren't right on the street. I didn't end up using the kitchen much, but it was made clear that was an option. All in all, a great experience with great people. I can't stress enough how nice the beds are, and all the spaces are very clean and comfortable.
