Monica was the perfect host. She greeted my wife and I with a big smile and was genuinely happy to see us. She gave us a quick tour of the apartment and made sure we knew how to work everything and left her number for us to call if we had any questions. She provided a binder full of information about local restaurants as well as directions to the nearest subway. We ended up getting our flight out cancelled because of the blizzard that hit the city and I don't know who was more concerned between Monica worrying about us and us worrying about Monica getting back into the city before all transportation was halted. In the end it all worked out and we had a good laugh. The apartment was in the PERFECT location. It was quiet and homey, So close to EVERYTHING and not only did it feel safe but even welcoming and made us feel at home. The blizzard aside, staying in Monica's apartment was an experience that you don't often get just visiting NYC. We really felt like we had our own apartment in the city for those short 10 days in January. Everything you could need can be found in the corner grocery that is open 24/7 and the employees were super nice. Beware though.. to get to the corner market you'll be forced to walk past an open air flower stand that is open 24/7 as well. Oh the horror! In a single word.... our experience was GLORIOUS. We can't wait to return and I must say that Monica has made it very hard for us to consider staying in a hotel ever again. Thank you for everything my dear. You are simply the best!
