This was my first time going to New York and a first time booking through airbnb. When we first got to the neighborhood I was a little nervous, it felt a little "rough." However, I am not very used to big cities and it could just be my perception. The apartment is adorable and spacious; somehow luxe and down to earth. There are quite a few amenities available including a stove, fridge, toaster oven, hair dryer, AC, heater, and ceiling fan. The neighborhood was a little noisy during the day, but actually very quiet at night. There is also a security system in the apartment building that was easy to use and made me feel safe. The apartment is just 2 blocks from the subway entrance and it takes you straight downtown in about 20 minutes. You are also about 4 blocks away from the northeast corner of Central Park. Amy and Steven are very helpful and kind. Amy is very quick to answer texts and airbnb messages. Overall, I am very pleased with our stay and would recommend to a friend.
