We loved our stay at Mark's apartment; the location was superb and literally a stone's throw from Times Square, and the property itself was everything we had been looking for with nice high ceilings, generally good living space and well appointed. We were also really happy with how easy and how positive Mark made our first Airbnb experience; he was very communicative and provided some super helpful suggestions for food and other nearby amenities. In terms of things we would urge potential lessors to be aware of: 1) the apartment is literally on Times Square and so even though the apartment is well off the ground, street noise and light are both still factors. Admittedly we were there at Christmas/ NYE and so things were naturally busier but it is something to be aware of especially if you are a light sleeper. 2) the bed whilst a double is actually a fold up bed and so if having a proper mattress and frame is important to you then this may also be an issue. 3) the bedroom is quite small and storage and hanging space was limited making the room a little awkward to negotiate once the bed is folded down. This wasn't a problem for us as the living area was more spacious than the pictures suggested.
However, none of our observations (which are intended to be helpful) should detract from the fact that this is a superbly located and well maintained apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks Mark!
