This was my first time using air bnb, and I am so happy I did! This room is so amazing and such a great value! Super spacious, wall of frosted windows with electric night shades that come down. Everything is updated and high tech. Gorgeous and clean bathroom. It's even more beautiful than the pictures. The neighborhood is great, with tons of awesome restaurants. I love that it came with the museum passes, saved me some money there. The Met is a 5 min walk away, along with many other museums. Even walked from here, through Central Park, to the Natural History Museum. I had just finished staying at the Hilton Midtown for work ($350 a night) and I'll have to say, this was so much better!
Arlinda was a great host, and made sure I had everything I needed. Alexis was very friendly as well. Although this is a family residence, it's super private, and I never even saw or heard the other family members. Felt like I was staying at a hotel. The family dog, Rex, sometimes hangs in the entry way and is the cutest thing ever...would just lay on his back all day for scratches if you let him.
I will definitely stay here next time I'm in New York!
