Life
New York City
We are a fun married couple who love travel, good food, music and meeting people from all over the world. We have great friends all over the world who always crash at our pad. We like to make people feel at home, and love sharing our favorite spots in NYC with our visitors.
We have traveled around the States, Europe, the Caribbean, and a little in Asia, and have lived in Seattle, St Vincent and the Grenadines, London, Miami, and now NYC, so if you ever were to travel to those places, we could help you out with that as well.
Looking forward to meeting you!
We stayed in NYC from December 25th to January 1st and Willow and Jamie were great hosts. They have a small but cozy apartment well located in the East Village. We had a very clean bathroom that we only had to share with their cat. We slept on a very large and comfortable sofa bed, which we could separate from the kitchen with a curtain. The neighborhood is quiet and we were never woken up by the noise of a car or a siren. Jamie and Willow were always as quiet as possible when we were... More »
January 2012This was the perfect place for my 2 night visit to NYC. Willow and Jamie are very kind, respectful people and their apartment is chicly decorated and spotless. The sofa bed was extremely comfortable and it was very quiet. Having your own bathroom was an added bonus. I would highly recommend staying here.
Willow and Jamie's place is beautiful, and was just perfect for my needs for a two day trip. They were able to be very flexible for my check in and check out times, which is was fantastic. And the bathroom is so fabulous, as is their beautiful cat! I had a great time and was so happy I made this choice.
First trip to New York was even better than expected, thanks largely to Willow and Jamie. Both are amazing hosts – very welcoming and helpful. Their place looks great, and the set-up is perfect. (Two levels; separate bathrooms, entrances, etc.) Basically like having your own apartment in the East Village – for a fraction of what you’d pay for a hotel room.
We Loved our stay with Willow and Jamie in the East Village. They were so helpful and had lots of great ideas on places to eat and drink in the area and beyond. It was the perfect location and we would definitely stay there again when we return to New York. Loved the cute cat and the adorable puppies!! Thanks for making our stay in the city so easy and fun!
We sadly didn't get to meet Willow as she was out of town, but Jamie was a fantastic host. The place was really nice, just as pictured, and perfectly clean. He was also great for some recommendations of restaurants and bars to check out in the area and didn't complain when we ended up being several hours later than initially planned. I'm probably going to be back in New York in a few months and plan on staying with them again if its available. Thanks Jamie, great meeting you.
Jaime was an excellent host! Unfortunately Willow was out of town on business so we did not get to meet her. The digs were exactly as described. This was our first airbnb experience and we really enjoyed it. Our host was pleasant and full of helpful info. My ladies first trip to the apple was a smash hit in no small part due to these guys. Watch out Jaime and Willow next trip you may end up with room mates!
We stayed at Jamie's and Willow's place for six nights and it was the first time we tried AirBnB. Based on our week in New York I'm definitely planning to use it again and I can gladly recommend their appartment in the East Village! The two extremely friendly and helpful and I'd love to meet them again when I ever get back to NYC. Thanks for everything guys! :)
Willow and Jamie are the greatest hosts! Extremely easy going, always ready with suggestions for where to eat and just all round lovely people. The place itself was great, very close to lots of cool bars and places to eat. I loved having my own bathroom, living area and door to enter from. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in NY. :D
Really great location, small but supercute place with really funny and sweet cat. We didn't get to see Willow much, but Jamie was really cool and helpful with suggesting places and just really accommodating in general. It was our first time using airbnb, and based on this trip would definitely do it again and recommend staying with Willow and Jamie.
Loved staying at Willow & Jamie's place. Super nice hosts, great location, fabulous tips, fabulous apartment, cute dogs and cat.. everything was perfect! Can only highly recommend their place! Cheers, Franziska & Christo
Great time with Willow and Jamie. Nice guys, not to present not to distant. Willow is a food expert and knows a lot of good and cheap restaurants in East Village. Jamie gave good advice on bars. The place is small but cosy and clean and your door entrance is different from the one of the hosts, that sleep in the basement. Some cat smell, but nice cat. The dog is always on the basement floor. I didn't see him, actually.
I had a very pleasant stay ,Willow & Jamie made me feel at home from the minute i walked in. The apartment is very comfortable and cozy. And location is just perfect - in the middle of everything. Highly recommended to stay here!
Owing to my work and life, day and night, I couldn't have much contact with Willow & Jamie, but the house was nice and location unbeatable. Cute little dogs could never get upstairs by my space and lovely cat only once, so no problem at all with the house's pets.
Jamie and Willow were excellent hosts, providing tips on where to go, the best routes to take, etc., and they also provided breakfast which made for a good start to the day. The decking was a useful feature, particularly at this time of year (July). This was my first airbnb experience and I really enjoyed it and would try it again.
Great people, great pets, great apartment in a great part of NYC! We enjoyed our trip, we miss this city... Thanks to Willow and Jamie for their warm welcome.
Sorry for being such a slackarse Jamie & Willow and not leaving feedback till now! Hope you guys are travelling well....well, what to say when I think everything has been pretty much said..these two are a great complimentary team and from the start (with excellent communication) made my daughter and I feel welcome..they are a wealth of knowledge in every aspect of their city..I was quite unwell with the jet lag from Oz and the change in climate but Willow was a good 'mumsy' and helped me out...

This is my first time using airbnb and I have to say that I had been very lucky to have stayed with Willow and Jaime. They are such a cool couple and welcomed me to hang out with them in the evenings. I had a fab time, wished I could have stayed on a bit longer. They gave me great tips on where to go and what I should see and I covered quite a lot in my 2 days in NYC. I love the East Village! Their apartment is clean and tidy and the sofa bed is so comfy, I slept like a log. Definitely will... More »
Willow and Jamie were great hosts! They were very helpful, giving plenty of suggestions for places worth checking out in the neighbourhood. I felt very welcome from the start, as they took me to some of their favourite spots in the area and introduced me to their friends. The apartment is cosy and clean, the outside deck is definitely a plus on warm summer evenings. Their pets are adorable and very friendly towards guests :) All in all, I'd definitely like to stay here again. Thanks so much... More »
I was in town for a few days for some interviews and was fortunate enough to stay with Willow and Jamie. Great place, great location, great people! (Great pets, too.) Very well appointed, very convenient, in a great, fun part of town. I look forward to staying with them again, or at the least getting some drinks.
Willow and Jamie were excellent hosts and made my time in NYC a great experience. Having only booked the previous night before arriving, they were extremely helpful and made me feel very welcome. Their flat is very clean, comfortable and private and in a great location to all the East Village action. I really enjoyed staying with locals who had good knowledge of the best coffee, music, bars and restaurants. It really felt like I'd known Willow and Jamie for years and I'd highly... More »
We had a wonderful stay at Willow & Jamie's. They were great hostes in every way. Their apartment is small, cosy and very well placed. We would really want to stay at their place again.
Willow and Jamie were great hosts. They provided me with tons of good suggestions for things to do in the area, which was really nice because the East Village has so much to offer that it's hard to narrow down the options. You can tell they really love NYC and they pass along their enthusiasm to their guests. Their apartment is very clean and comfortable and I had everything I needed: my own bathroom, cereal, fruit and coffee in the morning, and a cute cat to snuggle up with (I miss Ame!) I... More »
From the moment of my early arrival Willow and Jamie made me feel welcome. (Fresh baked cookies didn't hurt.) The apartment was spotless, the bathroom worthy of a good hotel, and the kitchen more than adequate for a bachelor traveler's needs. That Willow supplied fresh brewed coffee, OJ, yogurt, fruit and cereal each morning was an unexpected and very welcome plus. Willow directed me to restaurants on request; Jamie to one of NYC's best whiskey bars when I evidenced a thirst. ... More »
I should first clarify that I rented the entire apartment while Willow and Jamie were on vacation, so I cannot speak to the experience of staying in the apartment with them. The apartment was nice, clean, and as advertised. The cat was very friendly, but I think she was a little out of sorts because of the owners being on vacation and hacked up some stuff a few times. There was also a bit of a smell from the cat/litter box, but 1) I do not own a cat and may be more sensitive to it than... More »
We just harrived from 10 days at Willow and Jamie´s place. the apartment was great, the location, the confort, the kitchen, the shower, the deck and the bed it make you feel like home. you should know that you have to be a pet lover if you want to stay there cause you have to take care of some fish and a really friendly cat who is no trouble. the neighbourhood is perfect, tons of places to eat and open late, sometimes 24 hours. what is great because, belive it or not, new york does sleep,...

This B and B is comfortable, warm and well localized in NY. My trip wouldn't have been the same without Willow and Jamie's kindness and precious advices.
is there a rating for GOOD NEIGHBOURS? GOOD PEOPLE?? we may try to spend the nite once a month! no joke. the apartment is cozy. the bathroom is most modern in east village. they have EVERYTHING you need. Tuesday
A good experience. Jamie & Willow are nice folks..and live in a fun part of town. I wasn't as comfortable with an air mattress as I thought i would be...but that's because I'm really tall..and had recently broken my leg. So getting up to use the bathroom was a chore. You have to share your bathroom with a cat...which isn't too bad. Except in the morning when you're both trying to dress & get ready for the day. The cat takes forever in the shower !
Willow was a very good host. She was very helpful and gave us loads of tips about local bars etc. We had a great time.
Willow and Jamie are an awesome, super friendly and welcoming couple. We loved staying in their gorgeous apartment which is in a really cool part of NYC. Would definitely stay with them again and couldn't recommend them highly enough! We miss them already!
Great couple, great pets, great flat, great neighbourhood! I had such a fantastic time in New York thanks to Willow & Jamie and their generous hospitality! Stay here! (Just not when I want to come back!)
Willow and Jamie were excellent hosts. I felt comfortable and at home in their lovely and immaculate apartment. I would highly recommend this accommodation which is situated in the heart of the East Village.
I had a fantastic stay with them. They are both very fun, open, lovely people, which would do anything to help you or make your stay more comfortable. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to all my friends.
Perfect hosts, very friendly and easy going, lots to share....Charming. Excellent location, plenty of things to do, clean and cozy apartment. I recommend them with no hesitation. I will come back! Thanks
Willow and Jamie were great hosts. The accommodations were quite good in their totality - the private new bathroom was a treat. The shared kitchen was very nice and the sleeping area was private when necessary and quite open otherwise. These folks really know NYC so if you're looking for some help in what to see and do they are great. They are really nice too! Highly recommend.
Cordial hosts, charming, comfortable and very clean accommodations - couldn't ask for more! Will definitely return, hopefully for more than one night next time!
Willow and Jamie were fantastic hosts. I arrived late on a Friday night but they came home in the middle of it to let me in. After I was settled, they asked me if I'd like to go out and have a drink with them around the neighborhood, where they ended up taking me to some good little spots. Their place was clean and tidy, as advertised, and I felt very at home there. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a spot in the east village. Thanks again guys. Take care. C.
This was my first time staying through Airbnb and I didn't know what to expect. Jamie and Willow made me feel right at home in their apartment. I felt like I was staying with long lost friends. Their place in the East Village is in an ideal location. It is comfortable, and very private (with your own bathroom) I ended up sleeping on the couch, which was very comfortable (though it does fold into a bed if you want.) Their cat and two dogs were fun as well. Imagine staying at a fun,... More »
Willow and Jamie are the most adorable couple, fun loving, welcoming and thoughtful.. And the place is fabulous.. I had one of the most fun weekend hanging out with them and their friends during my stay here.. i wud be visiting them again for sure..
Willow and Jamie are fantastic hosts. Right from the outset they were both, very helpfull and friendly.I stayed there during the 'Volcanic Ash' debarcle, and they made my situation, of not being able to return home so much easier by rearanging there plans in order to let me stay longer. I very much appreciate how accomodating they were, on every level. I agree with a previous review where a guest mentions that staying with Willow and Jamie is akin to staying with friends.The both treat you... More »
perfection. great neighborhood, clean comfy home and a darling couple as your host. willow & jamie are akin to staying with friends–welcoming and fun. I highly recommend them.
Very nice people and good hosts. Clean apartment with everything you really need. The airbed sleeps one person very comfortably. I was in New York for work and this was a good choice. I highly recommend this place/ Thanks guys.
My experience staying with Willow and Jamie was wonderful. Their ability to make you feel at home and willingness to help you with anything you need during your stay were things to appreciate. I actually wasn't visiting NYC, I was moving here and needed a place to stay while finding a room. They were not only good hosts but good friends....and their pets are awesome too!
Great hosts,great location,great pets and very accomadating[I really appreciated the morning key pick up].I would recommend them to all.
Great hosts. Cozy and very clean apartment. Great area. Cute dogs and cool cat. :) The perfect place to go back to, relax and feel at home after a crazy day in the city. Very recommendable. I am going back that's for sure!
Friendly hosts, a clean (and nice) apartment, a friendly cat and good coffee in the morning - all great things to have when a blizzard strikes during your trip to the city! A great place to stay in the east village, and I'd recommend it to anyone else.
Staying with Willow & Jamie was everything I could have hoped for. They were home when I arrived late Friday after which they offered to take me to some of their favorite bars. I met their friends, who were also super nice, and we all had a fun night. The airbed setup was very comfortable and I was able to sleep late. Willow put out breakfast items for me. Their two dogs and cat are adorable, though they stay downstairs mostly so they shouldn't bother you if you prefer. Willow has been to... More »
We spent 5 amazing days at Willow and Jamie's apartment. They were gracious hosts, incredible resources to the city, and fun people! The stay was comfortable and the apartment was clean and cozy. We would definitely recommend them for any couple or single person looking to stay in the east village. They're the best!
Willow and Jamie are simply amazing! Great choice: nice apartment ( clean cozy and well located ), estremly nice people ( don't worry if you are as stupid as I was to forget your coat, Jamie has a good one :-), and a good shampoo too ) If you are still considering where to stay in NYC I'd strongly recommend to stop the search: This is THE place!
We spent 3 days at Willow and Jamie's place. They are really nice and cool. Their apartment is very clean. That should be a good choice to stay here. All the things there are great and amazing.
Their place is right in the East Village which is a great base to explore from. It was quiet and cosy. Breakfast is included and was great. Willow and Jamie are super nice, fun and really good hosts. They were very accomodatiing and easy going, I had no issues what so ever. They also have extensive local knowledge and great recomendations. The cat had no shortage of personality and was friendly and cute, reminded me of home. Thanks for a great stay -alex
Best choice ever! I spent six days at Willow's and Jamie's - four of them with my friend. They are very open-hearted and fun-loving! Absolutely recommendable! Enjoy your time being there!
I stayed at their place for just under one week, it was a great place to crash as I was over for a mates wedding and had plenty of things to do. These two should be the official "rent a local" because I was given soooo much info on where to go and they took us out around East Village for food and drinks, which was great fun...
Perfect place, perfect neighborhood, perfect hosts. Was in town for a concert and didn't arrive until really late but it was no problem for Willow and Jamie. Their place is more ideal for singles than couples, but if you are just looking for a place to crash it doesn't get any better. AND they accomodated us on really short notice - day of. Would absolutely stay with them again.
I stayed at Willow's and Jamie's place for a week. It's a very cozy apartment in a great neighbourhood: The East Village. I felt like home right away. They gave met tips where to go when I needed them, showed me around to make sure I see the great stuff that's around (but also me alone when I needed to relax). Unfortunately I did not get to explore the deck, because it was raining. Doesn't matter. They're great guys, very chill and easy going, and it's a LOT of fun to stay with them (even... More »
Willow and Jamie are two of the best people in the world! They're both funny, smart, and worldly, not to mention FUN!! If you stay with them not only will you get to stay in a cozy, clean place, you'll get great insider tips on the best places to eat, drink and wander in the city too.
September 2009Jamie and Willow are excellent people, a lot of fun and run a great house. If you are looking for comfort, cleanliness and the chance to meet two great people in NYC, stay here! The dogs are wonderful and friendly. I've stayed with Jamie and Willow the last few times I've been in NYC and it's always a great experience.
