Agnes was very responsive, helpful, and knowledgable of NYC. It is like living with a guide. The apartment was stocked with so much food, snacks, and any kind of amenity one would need. The neighborhood seemed very safe and friendly. The apartment was very clean and had easy access to metro stations. I was dissapointed about parking however but this is not the hosts' fault. If you drive, getting a parking spot on the street may be very difficult or impossible depending when you arrive. I drove my car and was needing to leave it in a worry free place for 6 nights. Since I arrived on a Saturday night all spaces were taken so I parked in a bus stop area the first night, got lucky and didnt get a ticket. The next morning, I called local parking garages, the first two were full, some didnt offer overnight parking. I found one very close by, about a block. It cost me $170 dollars for 6 days, but my car was safe. I would stay with Agnes again but I will never drive to NYC again.
