This was my first AirBnB stay. It was also my first stay in New York City. It was located perfectly for all the things we wanted to do and was really in walking distance of most. Pablo was very responsive for anything we needed. Check in and out were a breeze. Would recommend! It has a true NYC charm once inside.
The reviews mentioned steep stairs and that is true. Pablo was very open about it being a walkup and we thought, it can't be that bad... we only have to take our luggage up once and then down again. It is on the 3rd floor though so it was a climb for this out of shape lady, but we survived, as we quickly learned there are a lot (a LOT) of stairs in NY. Also, he is open in the listing about the street noise on 8th Avenue and it can get quite loud, especially with the emergency vehicles and night life right across the street. But, I'm a deep sleeper so it didn't bother me at all... especially after taking stairs all day! I slept like a baby.
Thank you for your hospitality and making my first AirBNB stay a breeze.
