Perfect Pick! I sat on making my decision on which AirBnB to pick for my trip for a long time- almost too long- but I’m happy I did, because I ended up staying at the perfect place.
Right off the bat Evan was quick to reply to any, and all, questions I had, and even gave me a list of places he recommended my mom and I try while were in the city. I hit a little bump in the road on Day 1 and Evan wrote back immediately and even offered to come over and help me out (and even sent over a bottle of wine, after the fact, for my troubles!). His place is very aesthetically pleasing and also squeaky clean (fresh linens, fresh towels, really clean bathroom) ! I let my mom take the bed, while I took the sofa, and I didn’t regret the decision at any point during the trip- I slept comfortably all week.
The location of Evan’s place (East Village/LES) was really the highlight, 2 minutes to the nearest Starbucks, just a short 10 minute walk to my favorite bagel shop in the East Village & only a 20 minute train ride to Rockefeller Center (which was crucial, as I was in town for SNL above all else).
It was funny to me that we would sometimes stray from our destination and then when we would try to figure out how the heck to get back to Evan’s we’d realize (almost every time) that it was always like a 12 minute walk or a single train ride away lol (no transfers! 🙌🏼)
The F train was our best friend during our stay and Evan is really close by, making it easy to get where we were going.
The hospitality Evan displayed was a very much-appreciated bonus! We were welcomed with tons of snacks and he made sure to check in with us often to see if there was ever anything we needed. I felt like we truly got our money’s worth, and after realizing how prime the location and overall neighborhood was, I’m surprised Evan hasn’t raised the price! Thank you for having us, Evan!! I hope that your place is available next time I come to New York, I had an awesome week!
