This was my first time using AirBnB and did not know what to expect. Marie and her husband were awesome; they were there to greet us at midnight -- The city that never sleeps! The apartment was great and Marie's communication was even greater.
The building was quiet and comforting. The neighborhood was lively; there are plenty of bars and food joints within blocks of Marie's apartment. Mamas Bar is right on the corner and has a good selection of beer. Staff: Awesome. The first time I saw the Empire State Building was 11 years ago. The second time was from the window of Marie's apartment. For my first time utilizing AirBnB, Marie set the bar high. I will look for Marie's AirBnB availability next time I am in NYC. 5 stars across the board.
Mini Pool Table: If anyone is wondering, I did win every game of pool I played against my brother.
