Diane was very responsive and helpful. Did not get a chance to meet in person, but everything went smoothly via text/airbnb. For Manhattan, the place was surprisingly spacious, and we really appreciated the amount of natural light as well as the well appointed kitchen. Very cute/renovated brownstone, and nicely decorated to boot. Just be prepared for two flights of stairs to get to apartment ;)
Location was a very easy walk to points of interest (Apollo, Sylvia's, Red Rooster, Ginny's Supper Club, etc), and nearby groceries/wine shops, bistros, bars and cafes as well. Pleasant hike to upper end of Central Park, and just a few blocks to get to subway. We found it easy to get hold of Uber when necessary as well. I've stayed in Manhattan many times before and this was among the best of experiences, despite the need to think a little further ahead of time to get to the Theater District and other places of interest further downtown -- on the other hand, we really enjoyed getting to know Harlem, and finally made it to The Cloisters in Washington Heights, too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
