1. Couchsurfing is more about cultural exchange than just a free place to crash. If you are solely looking for a free place or to just leave your bags and party, then please get a hostel or storage locker.

2. Copy-Paste requests and zero-reference accounts will be automatically denied

3. I get a ridiculous number of requests, so please understand that I strongly prefer hosting people who also have a track record of hosting in their home. If you don’t, a few references might to the trick. If you have no references but seem interesting, I might be down to meet up to chat and show you some of nyc — just not sure if I can offer you a place to stay, sorry!
