I had a lovely stay at Kristen's! She is super nice and made me feel very welcome. She was also very accommodating of my ever-changing arrival time. Her tiny dog Lexi is really adorable and friendly but quiet at night (for those who might worry about sharing a flat with the cutest teacup Yorkie). The building is extremely well located in Midtown, right opposite MoMA between 5th and 6th. It is a safe area and building too. The flat is nicely decorated and the bedroom has ample space for a large suitcase or two. The bed is comfortable, the sheets are soft - what else would you need? The room is also very quiet which is rare enough in New York to be mentioned. You can also store food/drinks in the fridge if need be. The only downside is that the flat is on the 3rd floor I believe and there is no lift so lugging my large and heavy suitcase up and down the stairs was quite the experience! Not an issue though if you are a couple or travel light.
This was my first Airbnb stay and it was a great experience. I am a regular traveller to NYC so I won't hesitate to reach out to Kristen again and I have already recommended her to friends/colleagues. Thanks for everything!
