We stayed in Emilia's place for 4 nights during our visit with my sister to New York. Emilia has been great in communication and a really nice host! She didn't bother us at all during our stay - but made herself available for whatever we needed her. The apartment is a studio of a very good size - a lot bigger than a hotel room in New York in all honesty! If you expect luxury this is not your place (it is a quite old and run down building) - but for us it was perfectly what we were looking for! It is super close to the metro (2 min walk) and in half an hour you are in Manhattan (also it connects to really good lines that can literally get you anywhere in Manhattan which is a huge bonus). I only wouldn't recommend for a girl alone if you plan to return very late at night - it is really close to metro but the neighborhood gets sketchy when it's late. Also, I didn't see air conditioning so it might be hot in the summer - but for May it was perfectly fine with the window open! We would definitely stay at Emilia's place again!
