Staying at Arthur and Ed's was all that I expected and more. The location was excellent - really right next to the Highline with lots of restaurants, cafes, diners etc nearby. Check-in and communication was super easy and painless. The bedroom and bath are as shown and very nicely appointed with lots of extra amenities like spare toothbrushes, soap & shampoo for guests. The rest of the penthouse apartment is also beautifully done up and is a place of light and space. Both Arthur and Ed provided lots of tips for local eateries, transport, things to do etc. Thoughtful touches included provisions for breakfast, a little fridge for my use, bottomless coffee. Their two cats showed up occasionally but in general were too shy to stay in the kitchen and guest areas. Above and beyond all this, Arthur and Ed are very warm and welcoming hosts, and we ended up hanging out in the kitchen having great fun discussing the "interesting times" that the USA finds itself in under its 45th President over some food and wine. For me, this interaction was the real plus point of my stay - it’s something that I look/hope for when I'm travelling solo and staying at Airbnb rooms, but which doesn’t always happen. Another plus point was the anti-Trump art in the windows which is a mini-tourist attraction on the Highline - LOL! Even though they were away for part of my stay, I felt completely secure and at ease in the apartment and with their house sitter. Arthur was always available if I needed to check anything and he also checked in regularly to see that I was ok. My brother and sis-in-law had travelled to NYC as well and there were no issues with them coming to the apartment to hang out before checking in to their hotel etc. In conclusion, I can’t recommend Arthur and Ed highly enough.
