This apartment was incredible! Spacious, clean and we looooved the amenities like the full kitchen! We brought our HDMI cord which came in handy because we could all watch movies on the big screen in the living room while we were snowed in during one of our days in NYC (who knew that blizzards in March were a thing?! lol). The couch was super comfortable--one of our party slept on it during her stay and she enjoyed it. I took a nap on it myself...no complaints! Nice flatscreens in ever room. Nice kitchen appliances (though lesbi honest, we didn't cook at all...lol...great full fridge for leftovers!). There are great Deli's nearby for delicious bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast; in walking distance to grocery stores, and some great Chinese places. Walking distance to two different subway stations. Plan for it to take an hour to get anywhere on the subway, but that's totally typical and it wasn't hard to plan for that at all. We enjoyed our walk to the stations (only about 5 minutes from one and 10 minutes from the other), and the subway was an adventure for us. LOVED THIS PLACE! Excellent experience! <3 Only ONLY thing to know about this place (and it's not even bad, just reality), this is a basement apartment and yes you will hear other guests above as sometimes Maba will rent those rooms to other airbnb guests. We didn't hear Maba at all above us, but once other airbnb guests arrived, we could hear every move they made on the first floor! Not an issue. Just something to be aware of. Maba is a great host and was so easy to communicate with! Check in was a breeze which I was worried about as my first airbnb experience, but there was nothing to worry about at all. Maba met us and we were able to get two sets of keys and he was always available to be reached through the airbnb messaging. He was seriously an amazing host!
