Before you read my review of Isabel's place and her awesomeness as a host, let it be known that this is my SECOND time staying with Isabel - I liked her and her place so much that I knew right away I wanted to stay with her again in the future - which brings us to this time's stay: just as cozy and comfortable, just as convenient and hassle-free, as my last stay. Isabel is one of those amazing, upbeat, positive and thoughtful people that makes hosting guests in a small shared space easy as breeze. Her communications are excellent, timely, and considerate. The place is right next to Central Park and right around the corner from the subway's B and C lines (easy walking to several bus lines, too), which made it so easy and convenient to get around Manhattan. The heater in the apartment keeps the place warm and comfortable during the cold winter. The bathroom has nice tiled walls and a strong shower head. One thing I really appreciate about Isabel is that she worked really hard to keep her apartment tidy and clean, and she is great at it! She is open to suggestions to improve her guest's experience, such as making the bed more comfortable (she has a new mattress!), and adding options to provide more privacy in a shared space. Isabel is the kind of host that really understand what the Airbnb experience is all about. I highly, highly, highly recommend staying with her!!
