Hosts like Natasha are the reason why we love AirBnB! She was very welcoming, fun, good natured and relaxed. We felt right at home, from the moment she opened the door to us and welcomed us in with a big smile. Her place is lovely - it is spacious yet cosy and comfortable and she kindly allows guests to use her living space and kitchen as well. Everything is super clean and the shower and towels are the best. The room itself is exactly as in the pictures, with the most comfortable mattress and crisp clean sheets. Exactly what you need after a day of wandering the streets of NY! The location is superb, the metro is close-by, as is Central Park, and there are different stores and places for breakfast within a few meters of her front door. We were a bit wary of security when coming home around midnight but there are lots of people around at all times so the streets don't get empty at all. No biggy! Natasha was so kind to give us some great insider tips that we happily followed up on. She also responded promptly to all of our requests, before and during our stay. We had a wonderful time staying at her place and we will surely try to book her place again our next time in NY. If only to continue our great conversations :) Overall very recommendable!
