This is the best kept secret for NYC accomodation on Airbnb. We travelled in late June and stayed for 5 nights. Barry and Julie were extremely helpful and personable in giving us all the information we needed before the trip. The apartment is easy to locate and in an extremely well maintained block. The accomodation itself is full of character with loads of space in each bedroom. It was a pleasure to come home to after each day of sightseeing and really made it a special trip. East Village is a great place to hang out in too, safe with bars and coffee shops everywhere. Also don't leave without visiting Strand Books.
I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and indeed am looking forward to my next visit! Thanks Barry and Julie for being superb hosts.
