This was my first visit to New York and I had a wonderful time staying with Sue!
Location-wise, Sue's studio apartment is in a nice part of the city, very close to two different subway stations (one is literally on the same corner, the other is a 3-5 minute walk down the street) – subway lines that can quickly take you to the main attractions of NYC. The apartment is in easy walking distance to restaurants (ranging from bagels to bubble tea) and convenience stores (like CVS), as well as the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) Chelsea theater which was great for catching an improv or sketch show.
In terms of the apartment itself, you have a nice cozy (but not cramped) space - your bed (which I found really comfortable) is by the window, with a lovely view of the Empire State Building at night. The whole apartment is clean and has a nice cozy vibe, and Sue really makes you feel at home, and encourages you to treat it like your home in NYC.
Finally, last but not least, Sue was very warm and welcoming and went out of her way to give me tips about where to visit and how to get there. I knew I could always ask her any questions about the city. The check-in process went smoothly, despite my flight being delayed several hours because of weather.
Thanks again for everything, Sue!
