Seriously, book this place! What an absolute delight it turned out tobe! I reserved Matthew's apartment after a different & bad experience in NY and this place TOTALLY made up for it. It's what Airbnb is supposed to be--staying in comfortable, unique place where the owner is local and knows the place and isn't some big corporation who bought out the entire floor of apartments to make a profit.
Matthew was communicative, super accommodating, and the pictures he has don't do the place justice. It's seriously so cute and quite spacious. The apartment building itself was in a great location, had a super fun & inviting flare to it, and is situated above a great little cafe that you should definitely try. (It's also a stone's from Broadway and the new immersive Harry Potter experience--consider going to either, if you can. The price to rent was reasonable for what we got in return. The beds were comfy and all Matthew's instructions for check-in and how to best "use" the house were spot on.
Again--I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it!
