Sylvia was so welcoming and helpful. Travelling alone and first time staying at an airbnb, it was so nice to have a contact for the apartment that was so responsive, giving me directions for my arrival and meeting me there to let me in etc. The apartment itself is small, particularly the bathroom, but perfectly adequate and very clean and cozy. The kitchen is very well-equipped. It's on the first floor, but the street is very quiet, at least for me. The neighborhood in general is quiet, convenient, and safe. Lots of stuff within walking distance including the subway. An easy trip to get to different areas of Manhattan. For two days of my stay I had a car rental, also within walking distance, and was able to find on-street parking very close to the apt. no problem even with the snow. I recommend this place!
