It has been my first time in Airbnb. Michael was the one who kindly guided me through the best practices of being an Airbnb member (such as verifying my identity) and how to build a trusted Airbnb relationship by sharing a little bit before you decide to step into someone else's place. And in the process of verification he was so respectful and patient to keep my request in the first place, for what I am so thankful!
The location of his apartment is absolutely great. With subway stops around the corner (street 23rd) and walking distance (10/15min) from Penn Station (interesting if you are coming from/going to Newark Airport) and many other interesting places like Time Square, the Flat Iron, High Line, Chelsea Market, The McKittrick Hotel (Sleep No More show), and so on.
We were provided by bed clothing, towels, hair dryer, toilet paper, an extra heater in case we were cold at night (which it was not the case, since the central heater was more than enough with a minimum temperature reached of around 0ºC-2ºC), and could use all the common areas facilities (bathroom, living room and kitchen).
We only saw Michael when we first arrived (he was waiting for us at the apartment), and did not have the chance to thank him for everything in person - thank you, Michael! And hopefully see you again in our next trip to NYC!
