This was one of my favorite Airbnb visits. George (artist and professor of art history) is a thoughtful and knowledgeable host, and the stairway is a museum in itself. The apartment has beautiful high ceilings and windows, and I had everything needed for a long stay—from practical things like a stove, dishes, etc., to original paintings on the walls, a beautiful desk to work at, and a view of the Morris-Jumel mansion (oldest house in Manhattan), where a few times in August there were outdoor concerts. Just down the street a community garden. Friendly neighbors to talk with. A subway stop and grocery store right on the corner. A Colombian coffeeshop (Salento's) and a community bookstore (Word Up) nearby. In all an unusual and precious NYC experience—I'm hoping to return again soon.
