My parents stayed here while they came to visit me in New York and we were very happy with the apartment. It was clean and spacious, and they're finicky about light levels and street noises while sleeping, and this was not a problem for them here. Someone was there to greet them when they arrived and help them up the flight of stairs with their luggage which was a thoughtful touch (they're 65 and 75). The location was great for us as they were walking distance to my place, and very close to the C train which wound up being our main train to the city- perfect for touristy things like the Natural History Museum, or walking across the park to the Met. In case you need some local tips, the apartment came with a cute scrapbook welcome binder of things to do in the neighborhood and city that someone put some heart into. All throughout, Joanna was very attentive to our questions, really easy to communicate with, and quick to respond which was comforting since this was my first Airbnb experience.
This apartment is clearly for renting and no one actually lives in it otherwise. It's a little bare in the sense that there aren't personal touches but in the end I know this was a definite plus for my parents because they had all the space they wanted to put their stuff down and hang their clothes without feeling like they were intruding into someone else's space. The only room for improvement that is worth mentioning is that some of the furniture (not the bed or couch) is a bit shabby and could use updating. Also, the door to the bathroom didn't close; it stays closed by getting stuck a bit on the frame which in the end was not a problem for us, but it's a detail worth noting.
We would be happy renting this place for my parents again.
