We went to NYC for the first time and this was a great place to stay. I would say if you are wanting to spend the majority of your time in Manhattan you’ll want to get familiar with the subway because Ubers really start to add up from this location to Manhattan. The hosts were very accommodating and communicated well. Checkin/out was easy, she had everything clearly written out so it was easy to follow. For not being familiar with New York everything can be a bit scary but we felt safe and secure in this air bnb. It also was really spacious so that was nice too!
