This Air BNB is exactly how it’s shown & described. Mike is a SUPER communicative, attentive & generous host. He makes the entire process smooth. This spot is a stellar east-side Manhattan location in walking distance of just about anything you need, food, coffee, groceries, Central Park, The Met, even a hospital. The neighborhood made me feel safe, and comfortable.
We stayed at Mike’s place for almost 3 weeks. I had plastic surgery done, and we live 4 hours away, so my husband and I spent most our time at the apartment while I was healing & so I could go back and forth to my numerous follow up appointments post surgery which was only 3 blocks away. Some of the added benefits beyond location, for us was the elevator, 2 space heaters, Wooden Floors, 2 bedrooms, WIFI, Office area, & free parking. You do have to move your car frequently if you choose to “free park” and it’s not super easy to find a spot on the block, but there are also garages in walking distance that are affordable IMO. We simply used the “BEST PARKING” App to find the most fitting garage choice for us.
The primary Queen bed is very comfortable, on the medium firm side which we loved-& has very nice sheets/blankets & pillows (although we brought our own considering the circumstances).
Like most spaces in NY, the kitchen & fridge are very small. Mike has the basics, so if you are a kitchen connoisseur or if you plan to eat in frequently just be cognizant that there is little storage for extra groceries/sundries beyond 1 wks worth for 2. And you may want to bring some things of your own. We brought my electric kettle since I drink tea constantly. You can easily Uber to Trader Joes which is a close ride or walk to a Bodega. All in all, Mike’s home was our home away from home & we couldn’t be more grateful for him letting us stay. I am in love with the huge mirror in the living room!! We will def re-book when we need to comeback!
