Chantal was an excellent host, with a lovely, clean apartment in a good location. The apartment has all of the things you would need to eat in and stay in in the evenings; we chose not to as we weren’t staying too long, however if we were we probably would as it will allow you to save money. We stayed as a three so made use of the sofa bed, which was decently sized (though I’m only 5’10) and fairly comfortable for a sofa bed. It’s only a 15 minute walk to the subway and you can be from door to Central Park for example in about 50 minutes total. This made it really convenient for getting into Manhattan for lots of tourist stuff, whilst also being affordable compared to being in the city. The neighbourhood was very nice, we had a great dinner at a restaurant around the corner on our first night and grabbed breakfast from their bakery each morning upon the recommendation of Chantal.
Chantal was very good at communicating with us, giving us recommendations when asked and giving clear instructions for check-in and check-out which were really easy to complete. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend both the apartment and Chantal as a host.
