Mie was very communicative before and during the stay. She was accommodating to changes to my itinerary and whenever there were questions or problems she tried to resolve them almost immediately.
The house is in a quiet residential area and her place is much more spatious than I thought. Her kitchen had everything and the flat was very warm which was a welcome respite from the big March blizzard! My friend and I had a great time. Thank you Mie for being a great host, looking forward to another visit to NYC in the near future!
