The host was absolutely amazing! I really appreciate when a host has clear/open communication, responds in a timely manner, is cooperative, and willing to make accommodations. I wish more Airbnb hosts were like her!
For NY, the size and price of the apartment is beyond amazing. The apartment is very spacious and designed so intelligently. The subway is just a few minute walk away and there are convenience stores very nearby. All major attractions and city life are just a 15-30 minute subway ride away (I highly suggest you use the subway! We had a car rental the first few days and returned it, because finding parking in NY is literally impossible). The area is also very safe. We would walk to the convenience store at 1am and had no issues. I hope I have a chance to return here :)
