Soon and Francine were extremely welcoming hosts and helpful for our first trip to NYC. They helped us to understand the subway system and gave wonderful recommendations for things to do/see/eat during our trip. We had lots of lovely chats in the mornings or evenings where we all learned a little bit more about each other. Air conditioning unit in the room was lovely. Just a short walk to Whole Foods, Starbucks, and many other shops & restaurants and even shorter walk to the nearest subway. Overall, they really helped to make our trip even better!
