I'm a first timer with Air Bnb and I choose Sophie's place as it looked like a lovely apartment and wanted to try a different district of New York to explore. Sophie was very quick to respond and really helpful when I emailed as gave ideas of what to do around the area and the best way to get to the apartment. From the correspondance we built up a really nice rapport so it was great to finally meet up. The subway station is only a few mins walk and was able to explore Manhattan and the surrounding area without any problem. Sophie's hospitality was so generous as we had welcome snacks and drinks available, which was a lovely surprise, it was a treat to be at her place. The apartment was nice and cosy and was made very welcome and enjoyed staying there, it was short only two nights but I'm sure I will visit again. Thank you Sophie for a wonderful stay, it really felt like a second home.
