We had a great stay in NYC at Julia's apartment. The apartment is located very close to both red & green line subway stations, we felt safe walking the street at night (as in any city in the world just pay attention to your surroundings.) Having a kitchen in the apartment helped us save a bit of money by preparing a couple of small meals instead of eating out for every meal.

The apartment was large (there were 6 of us, and the air mattress for two of us was surprisingly comfortable) and as described. We didn't have much contact with Julia as she arranged for us to access the apartment (we arrived early morning) and saw her briefly when we left - the contact we did have was great... very attentive and helpful with her emails, and very friendly over the phone and in person. I'm sure if we had the smallest problem she would bend over backwards to help!

As they are relatively new to hosting with AirBnB I had a couple of pieces of constructive feedback to give, which were very positively accepted and I am sure they will be addressed prior to the next guest visit. Highly recommend Julia's apartment, hope you have as great a time as we did!
