If you are considering staying in NYC the weekend or for a few months and are considering this place, choose it!! From the moment we arrived (my roommate and I), we loved the apartment. It's larger than the pictures show and really accommodating for two people (or two couples or a family) to live in. The AC is incredible (we worked from home during the summer at this spot/WIFI was also great) and were really grateful for such powerful AC throughout whenever needed. Another HUGE PLUS are the dishwasher and the washer/dryer in unit. These really make the difference. There was everything we could ask for in the kitchen and the rooms were fully stocked with enough blankets and linens to feel at home. The LOCATION is another 10/10. The UWS is close enough to Midtown and downtown or UES that a subway ride can get you there but far enough that you feel like you're going home from the hustle and bustle of everything every night. I had a favorite book shop all the way in the lower east side and I found it really manageable to travel there and back to the apartment. Additionally the surrounding restaurants (Amity Hall for its
bottomless brunches and great eggs benedict, Hungarian pastry shop for people watching, 1020 bar for a late drink, living thai down the street and a great sushi spot on the other corner) all make this location IDEAL. Plus you have Columbia just a short 7 - 9 minute walk. I wish I could rave more about this great Airbnb experience. OH and Jenny is great. She responds to everything and anything. She is constantly available and is really great to chat with! We loved our stay!!
