I’ve used Airbnb quite a few times already but none of them have provided hospitality like this. Check in was easy, the location was in a great neighborhood, and she was very helpful as to helping me get around and teaching me a little about how to use the train since this was my first time in NY. There is quite a bit of noise but I wouldn’t expect any less because it is New York after all (and because I’d sleep with the window open). You can’t see it in the pictures but there’s a fire escape which I thought was super cool because I see it in a few of the shows I watch like How I Met Your Mother, Friends, and Broad City.
This was supposed to be a two person trip but I ended up alone last minute. I still went out and explored the the city. This was a safe area, I walked to the bars and restaurants late at night and felt fine. I wasn’t expecting to have a good time since it was just me but I ended up having a blast and Lola made my stay so much easier with how helpful she was.
