My first experience with Airbnb and my first trip to New York have been so successful mostly due to this great apartment. It is exactly as it shows in the photos and it has the additional advantages of been clean, fully equipped, safe and quiet thus guaranteeing a comfortable staying and sleep (this particular bed is definitely what your body needs after a long day on your feet). The only disadvantage is that by being so nice, the apartment makes you want to spend more hours in it instead of going out and enjoying the city; it comes with wi-fi connection, tv and perfect spots for reading and relaxing. Its location is superb for theatre lovers or theatre professionals like myself, as it's within New York's Theatreland; I was able to get day or rush theatre tickets for every night I spent there since it was very easy to queue in front of theatres from really early on, as the place is close to all the theatres nearby. Marcello has been an excellent host, helpful and informative and what struck me most was how he loved showing his place and giving you the freedom to make the best use of it according to your needs. The subway station is literally outside the building's door, but the apartment's position in Manhattan's area makes it a perfect place for walks both uptown and down town. An excellent place, highly recommended for shorter or longer visits to New York City.
