Sophia is an incredibly communicative and gracious host and was very generous in allowing me a late check out. The apartment is ideally located in LES and on the 4th floor so fairly quiet (for new york).
Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in the cleanliness of the apartment - part of which was due to the place not being cleaned since its last use, which Sophia apologized for and sent someone to clean the same day I checked in. It still felt cluttered and unkempt, but again, Sophia went above and beyond to try to remedy this even though she was not local to NY so hopefully this will get better in the future.
