This is the real deal! I will definitely be staying here when I visit New York again. Arthur and Ed are fantastic hosts. They are courteous, generous, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about NYC. You can learn lots of interesting facts about the history of Manhattan and Chelsea from them, as well as recommendations for food and activities. Their home is gorgeous and was much nicer to stay at than a hotel. One of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had.
