After arriving in NYC to discover our original hostess cancelled with no notice the best friend and I found ourselves with nowhere to stay. Airbnb customer service was there and promptly sent inquiries out for us. We tried not to panic as all the declines started streaming in. We have always had amazing experiences and knew we had to trust the universe and this process and that we would land where we needed to be.
With very minimal notice, Sheila was flexible and available and opened her home to us.
The key retrieval was very convenient and we loved exploring a new to us neighborhood. The location was perfect for us since we spent the majority of our weekend in Williamsburg, the LES, and the East Village.
The apartment itself is so clean and comfortable. Her books told us she was someone we would get along with and her kitchen told us she is someone that appreciates good food as much as we do. (So sorry we left our Red Rooster leftovers in the refrigerator!)
Such a cute little space with a lovely vibe. The painting in the downstairs hallway always made me smile when we returned.
Thank you so very much, Sheila. You were the perfect hostess and the best friend and I would love to take you out for a beer (or three) if you're ever in Austin.
