Charlotte was an incredible host! There was some unfortunate miscommunication on my part about the actual arrival date vs. the reservation date but she didn’t bat an eye and was incredibly gracious and accommodating about it.
As for the unit, it has a spacious bedroom, two nicely remodeled bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen, hardwood floors throughout, granite countertops, GE appliances, everything you’d need to cook a meal, and a furnished backyard (table, chairs, BBQ, and lighting) that was a real hit for the kids. Candles, houseplant, key NYC info, AirBnB magazines, and a nicely produced guide book to staying at 949 Gates Ave were all nice touches.
I am seriously considering rebooking my next trip to NYC to stay here!
