This is an especially lovely Airbnb listing. First, the apartment is perfectly located to explore the Meatpacking District and many of the city’s other headline attractions are within 20 walking distance. Everywhere else you can reach via the City’s Central Station, a short 5 blocks away from the apartment.
Second, the host has compiled a fantastic guide to the nearby restaurants, bakeries, coffee-shops and can’t-miss attractions. The guide that was invaluable while planning my trip and at a handful of the places it recommends I met welcoming locals who were happy to talk. It also tells you how long a walk to the location would be and whether one needs reservation. Very helpful advice! The host is also perfectly communicative through the app and responds to messages speedily.
Finally, the apartment itself is gorgeous with a white motif, hardwood floors, comfortable furniture and plenty of art books. The balcony was very useful during my stay because the City was experiencing a heatwave and access to fresh air and cool breeze made it worth every penny. It’s a nice place to take meals or a glass of wine at night and on Saturday at 11:45 there is a show stopping fireworks display viewable from there. The kitchen is also fully stocked so one can cook practically anything in the apartment.
