Two words...awesome location! Which for us, is by far the most important factor when choosing a place to stay - after all, how much time do you really spend in your lodging - especially in NYC? Hudson's apt is a block from Central Park and the subway. The Drake is one street over. Great restaurants (try the sheep's milk dumplings at Kefi on Columbus Ave.) and coffee shops. Zabars is a short stroll away. Much more authentic experience than staying in some generic hotel room. Our first time using airbnb.com and we will use it again. Thanks for everything, Hudson!
