I spent in NYC one week at the end of April with my wife and my 15 years old son. After many researches on Airbnb, we decided not to book in Manhattan because of the many feedbacks about noisy places, old structures without lift and high prices if compared with similar or better solutions a little bit outside the downtown.
At the end we chose this apartement which revealed to be exactly what we were looking for: quiet and safe environement above all, clean, new, spacious. Beds were comfy. And the biggest surprise has been how quick and easy is to get downtown: 15 minutes between a short walk and two metro stops.
The presence of a small supermarket just 100 metres away is a great plus that will allow you to cook at home if you want to rest.
Aditional note: the presence of brand new washer+dryer makes unuseful to bring too many clothes as in our case. Leave space for your shopping: you will definitely need it!
Great communication with Brian who really made our stay very easy.
Strongly recommended!
