Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Things we liked/appreciated:
1. Asher was extremely accommodating with our late arrival time.
2. Asher communicates well and responds quickly. When we noticed the electric tea kettle wasn't working, he ordered a new one that was delivered the next day.
3. The apartment looks just the way it does in the photos. It's clean and comfortable; beautifully furnished and decorated; bedrooms have natural light; bathrooms are well lit with fans; we didn't cook, but the kitchen had all the stuff we needed to eat simple breakfasts and take-out in the apartment. We looked forward to coming back to the apartment at the end of the day and even in the middle of the day to just rest and relax.
4. The unit is on the first floor, so it's an easy walk-up.
5. Building was quiet; some street traffic can be heard from one of the bedrooms. We brought ear plugs and that worked for us.
6. Neighborhood is very nice. It's near the UN Headquarters, so lots of consulates and swankier apartment buildings.
7. Two nearest subway stops are both .4 miles away, approx. 9 min walk. (Lines E, M, 6)
8. Several nearby bus stops within 1 block which we actually found to be more convenient and comfortable to use than the subway.
The main reason why we prefer Airbnb to hotels is because even when we're traveling we like the feeling of being in a "home". This place was exactly that.
