In reply to Meghan. Ha, services are pretty limited on that front, Meghan :) But I do try to give as many tips as possible so you can run your own!

In reply to amy. Gas leak aside, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect apartment ;)

Can’t believe the renter didn’t get back to you about the gas leak, horrible thing to have to endure. Glad you managed to enjoy the gas-less apartment though – it looks like a charmer!

In reply to Rashaad. I think it is, Rashaad! It's a really beautifully done museum and the Empire State Plaza, which it sits in, is a must for anyone interested in architecture. Sounds like you've had some great hosting experiences :)

I’m glad you were able to play tour guide. I’ve had a lot of fun when I’ve been able to be a tour guide. When I lived in Yamagata Prefecture (Japan), I would show CouchSurfers around my town. Granted there really wasn’t much to show them, but I was thrilled to show travelers “my” part of Japan. Also, I was very excited to play tour guide when my father visited me in Leeds (England) last year.

Is the New York State Museum worth a visit?

I grew up right outside of Albany and have been in NYC for the last 11 years – how funny is it that you have mentioned these two places? Since I spent my entire adulthood in NYC I don’t really know everything that Albany has to offer, but some of the places you mentioned make me eager to pop back up and explore it soon! 😀

In reply to Nathalie @ Borderless Traveler. Considering the quality of the show and what you'd spend for a comparable three course meal and cocktails... it's a good value at least when you're in the mood to splurge!
