Sometimes it is hard to find the right words when something unexpectedly wonderful happens.
Rebecca is the perfect host and her apartment makes you feel like you have brought "home" with you on your trip or vacation. She had cookies and juice ready for us upon arrival, along with fresh towels and storage space for clothing and toiletries. Rebecca gave us plenty of space and privacy and when we did interact it was always such a pleasure! As a host she is extremely gracious and mindful, always making sure that we were comfortable and taken care of.
Our trip to NYC was a working trip, and while we did make time to run around, see some of the sights and run around a bit for work, my wife and I spent a lot of our time inside the apartment. Not only did we have a bedroom, but we also had a living room area that we could divide with a heavy curtain if we wanted more privacy while lounging. We spent a lot of time with the curtain open (since the atmosphere was so comfortable); another lovely note is that outside of our 'living space', Rebecca made sure that we had plenty of table, counter and desk space for our computers and tablets while working. We also had plenty of room in the fridge and she has a fantastic range and cast iron pans that we made use of when spending long days working and eating in.
Everything was extremely cozy. When I say her apartment makes you feel like you have brought "home" with you I mean that while you are staying there it sort of feels as though you have been living in NYC your whole life. The clean and homey, yet beautiful modernly decorated apartment and the neighborhood outside with it's incredibly convenient market and street fairs was such a delight!
Rebecca definitely went above and beyond too. During our stay I came down with a cold (over doing it with working all day and then walking around the Met all day), and she made sure the apartment was quiet and comfortable so I could make a speedy recovery - and I did! She did not have to do even half of the wonderful things that she did for us, she's a very generous host!
