I'll start with the bottom line: I can recommend this airbnb and would stay there again. However, you have to have realistic expectations- it's small, no-frills, parts of the apt have little or no natural light. However, it's great value for the money in NYC. Prime location (all the major NYC attractions are within walking distance or a short subway ride away), comfortable beds. The apt was clean, the kitchen small but perfectly adequate for small meals. My main caveat is that the WIFI is slow and unreliable.
