1st time using airbnb and it was a delight. I would highly reccomend staying at Lauren's place it was a fantastic apartment and great location. Her apartment was very clean and very nicely appointed, made for a very comfortable stay. The best thing was the location, you are in a great neighborhood with amazing resteraunts and attractions with access to all public transport. The highline park was just a couple blocks away and was a very cool walk to some nice shopping and eats. The location was also perfect for the way we like to city travel, go out the door and just get lost to see what you can find. Highlights for us were:
- Ellis Island
- Central Park - do the rickshaw taxi tours, no sore feet
- Natural History Mueseum
- SoHo & Tribeca shopping
- Gray's Papaya Dogs - this is a must!
If you are on the fence about a hotel vs this apartment rental, I highly recommend this, it was a great way to stay in New York!!
