My friend and I stayed in David’s apartment for 1 week and couldn’t have been happier. This was my first Airbnb experience, and first trip to New York so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but the apartment is just as lovely as the photos depict. The place was large and light and perfect for my friend and I. David provided a blow-up double mattress for the living room for my friend, while I took the main bedroom, and we were both very comfortable with loads of room to spread out. The kitchen has everything you could need to prepare a feast, the bathroom is clean and bright, the bookshelves are full of amazing titles and the neighbours were all really friendly too!
The location is wonderful – just half a block from the subway (about 20-ish minutes to the middle of Manhattan), handy delis and shops, and an easy walk to BAM and loads of great bars and restaurants etc. The apartment is on a wide beautiful street in a pretty and quiet neighborhood with a lovely patisserie and wine shop around the corner, and an amazing BBQ joint down the road.
David was a great host and was fine with our slightly delayed arrival time. He was always prompt with replies to emails and gave great local food and attraction suggestions. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.
