The home was very cozy, and I felt like I was at home. Me and my guest stayed inside most of the trip but when we did venture out we found some great neighborhood staples. I was able to get my nails and hair done up the street (walking distance) from the Airbnb, found a great bagel and pizza shop around the corner as well. The neighbors were super friendly AND the ice cream truck came by. Al was very quick with communication and his home was clean and accommodating. We will book with him each time we visit New York.
