I highly recommend this place for the friendliness of the condo itself and the hospitality of our host. First of all, I couldn't ask for a better place to stay during Christmas and New Years time in New York. We were a group of five people staying during the holiday for eleven days, sightseeing mainly Manhattan (though we wish we had more time to explore the Brooklyn area). Subway stations are within ten minutes walk. Every night coming back from Manhattan after a full day of walking, we relaxed comfortably on the couch listening to the turntable and organized pictures we took while planning for the next day. We cooked sometimes, and did so on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare a feast for five. In sum, Natasha's condo is cozy, well decorated and fully functional. Next, Natasha was a great host, and I normally wouldn't say that to someone I didn't meet in person. She and her family was on vacation during our stay, but we figured out a way to communicate on whatsapp. She was very available to answer all questions we had. She also provided us with a thorough apartment guide and neighborhood guide. Such an experience really left a good impression on us, especially my aunt who stayed with an Airbnb host for the first time. She said she would choose Airbnb over hotel anytime if she traveled to New York!
