Whitney's place was exactly what we needed to enjoy a week in New York! She was very prompt and helpful from the start and provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay! As she was out of town when we got there she arranged for a friend to meet us, get us the keys, and show us around the place. Her friend checked up on us throughout the week and, although we never needed anything, we felt we could have gotten the help we needed! We met Whitney when we checked out and she was fun and a great person to work with!
The studio was described well in the listing and had plenty of room. Whitney was nice enough to clear out lots of closet and drawer space for us so. The AC unit worked great and kept the place cool. Overall, the place was comfortable and perfect for our needs.
The location was great--walking distance to some major museums (The Met, Cooper Hewitt, Guggenheim), the park, and the 86th street subway station, which made it easy to get from A to B quickly. The neighborhood wasn't as busy as other parts of Manhattan so it was a nice escape from the noise. The apartment kept quiet at all times and we never even heard any neighbors. Great first airbnb experience!
