One of my FAVORITE airbnb nyc experiences! Eyal was available and in contact with me from the get-go, and even met me at the door when I arrived. Friendly, smiley, and chivalrous (he carried my suitcase up the steps :-), everything went smoothly from the moment I arrived. The lock on the door was impressive - a customized digital lock that he programs with a different code for each new guest. I felt safe right then and there. The apartment is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. More closets than ANY NYC apt I've ever been in, with plenty of nice wooden hangers ready for my clothes. A stocked kitchen - coffee/tea, chocolates, a bottle of wine & cold Pellegrino quenched my late night arrival thirst and desire for a treat! The bathroom is sparkling, bright and super clean, and stocked with extras of everything (toilet paper, nice toiletries, towels) AND a quality hair dryer with two attachments - one for straight hair and one for curly (a diffuser?? my curls never looked better). And honestly, the MATTRESSS! That bed was calling my name all day every day during my very busy work schedule and I looked forward to getting into it every night. While located in a busy area, it's right by MANY subway lines and bus stops, and a short walk from Chelsea Market and other great locations - food, coffee, whatever you need is all very close. The street itself is quite quiet despite being in the middle of everything, and lined with pretty, well-kept brownstones (this one being one of the very prettiest). If you can't tell, this place is a gem and I loved my stay. It made my hectic work trip a truly comfortable one. Thank you Eyal and Brendan and I would love to come back and stay for my next project!!
