I have been staying in New York on and off since May of 2022. Since then I tried downtown Manhattan and upper east side in Manhattan as well. I can honestly say this location and Airbnb was by far the best experience I had in NY.
First, Alexandre and his wife are super friendly and thoughtful hosts. There are a lot of lovely touches added including a welcome bottle of wine and mini toiletries in their spa like bathroom. It is a huge space (for NY) and the backyard was the biggest sell for me. I worked remote during this time and working outside and just having the view all day boosted my mood. The middle section doesn’t get a lot of natural light but they have very ambient lighting so it always feels cozy and homey. I can’t say enough good things about this spot. The pull out couch also came in handy and there was a ton of storage space to store things.
I LOVED this neighborhood. It is quiet, cozy and peaceful which is such a refuge in a city as chaotic as NY. Highly recommend!!
