Fantastic location! Very homey and comfortable. This is a walkup, but we had no issue for the 5 floors and 4 heavy bags, just be mindful if you book this place and you cant carry your bags up and down. The place was super clean, and smelled nice. Brandon had some notes and recommendations that helped. Considering that this is Brandons home, there was nothing that made us feel unwelcome or like we are intruding, it is set up very well with mindful features to make guests feel welcome and knowledgeable. Brandon was SUPER fast to respond, and even went the extra mile to accommodate us for a late check in after a 15hr intl flight! Will DEFINITELY stay here again if we visit NYC/Manhattan.
