Excellent host, fair price for the accommodations. Overall it was good stay for my first AirBnB experience. The last time I was in NYC I stayed at Affinia Shelburne which cost me $200+ a night and I hardly stayed in my room so if you do the math it's not really a good bang for your buck. The room was cozy and I had enough space to relax after a day of walking around the city. There were minor caveats but they were not a deal breakers for me - but it might be for someone reviewing this. First the building is old and there's no elevator so if you have knee/physical problems walking up & down 5 flights of stairs several times a day could pose a problem. Second there's no central air conditioning, there's a fan in the room that kept me cool enough but if you're from a colder climate and like to sleep at a cold temperature this could be an issue for you. Chris was a very helpful host he answered all my concerns and gave good advice on subway traffic. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area.
