Airbnb describes this specific listing as a "rare find" and from the moment that you check-in, it's not hard to figure out why.

The apartment is overwhelmingly spacious, with high ceilings and a tasteful European country-side aesthetic. The kitchen is well-stocked with high quality appliances and cookware and there were a variety of snacks on the kitchen table. Similarly, the bathroom was well-stocked with various toiletries, towels, hair dryers, etc.

Although it was located in a city, the neighborhood is quite safe and had a rural/suburban feel.

In additional to being warm and friendly, the hosts were extremely organized. Upon checking in, you're given a full tour of the apartment as well as information about when the bedsheets and towels will be changed. Like a hotel, the hosts are kind enough to change the bedding for you but I did not make use of that option.

As others have mentioned, you're also given a very detailed and thick binder with maps, transit schedules, taxi numbers, food delivery services etc.

I stayed here for about a week in late February and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. Everyone is extremely nice and welcoming and again, the apartment is simply amazing.

If you're looking for something that's close to Manhattan and this listing is available, just book it. It's absolute steal at the current price.
