Everything that other past guests have written about Ebul's place was true: impeccable cleanliness, convenient midtown location (for easy going up and down Manhattan & beyond by public transport) and countless options for dining and shopping. And yet, due to the fact that the room is situated in the back, I hardly heard the busy street noise when the door was closed despite the flat being on the (American not European) 3rd floor.
Inside the room, the drawer of the work desk offered well-thought of freebies to make one's stay more pleasant: sleep mask, earplugs and even condoms! The latter I guess were meant to be taken along when one was out on the town and not as a suggestion that a solo houseguest could bring in a guest to the room because one of the house rules clearly stated a no-no-to the idea. A hotel after all this Airbnb accommodation is not.
Ebul as a host earned nothing but the highest commendation I can give. Efficiently providing orientation of his place and helping me bring up (on my arrival) and bring down (on my departure) my luggage, he was promptly responsive either in person or via messages for anything to do with my stay with him. Needless to say, I highly recommend his listing and I myself will undoubtedly make a repeat booking when I can - hopefully in the near future.
