Sean’s Condo is an absolutely perfect place for your New York City stay. For background, I stayed in this Airbnb for nearly three months while working full time in a professional office in NYC.
The unit itself is extremely spacious and could easily fit a couple. The bed is comfortable and can be put up when needed. The kitchen was comfortable, stocked with all the necessary appliances and cooking tools, and had space for my own food and equipment. There are several closets and wardrobes which made storing my suits, dress clothing, weekend clothing, etc. extremely easy. The unit’s balcony overlooks the street and the avenue corner. It features a lounge chair which I used to get some fresh air and catch up on reading. The bathroom is huge, with more than enough storage space for toiletries, gorgeous mirrors, and a luxurious bath complete with a rain shower and handle. The in-unit washer and dryer were quick, efficient, and gentle on my work dress shirts. The dishwasher was easy to use as well. The apartment was cleaned regularly by an outside cleaning team making my stay all the more relaxed.
The building features a gym with plenty of equipment, including dumbbells that reach 80 pounds, two treadmills, an elliptical, a bike, two pullup bars, a pulley system, and a leg press. The gym allowed me to keep in shape throughout my stay. The front desk staff quickly began to recognize me, welcomed me when I arrived, and were quick to alert me when a package was delivered. I used AmazonFresh throughout my stay for groceries, and the groceries would either be delivered directly to the unit’s front door or they would remain in cold storage downstairs if I was not home. The unit features a phone so the front desk staff can alert you when food deliveries or visitors arrive. There is also a storage facility in the basement and a rooftop with sweeping views of Hells Kitchen and Midtown.
The neighborhood itself is fantastic. The building is immediately across from several great bars and restaurants (check out 44 & X). It is also above a wonderful restaurant (Pio Pio), Dunkin Donuts, Dry Cleaner, and more. I walked down 10th avenue to work every day and found the commute easy, even in the hot summer humidity. There is a subway entrance a few blocks away which also made getting around the city accessible and cheap.
Sean was extremely responsive to questions that I sent through the Airbnb app. At one point, I had some difficulty with the air conditioning unit. Sean bought and sent over a fan with same-day delivery and scheduled the repair team to come as quickly as possible. The problem was resolved rapidly, and Sean was in constant communication, checking in until everything was resolved.
Overall, I absolutely cannot recommend Sean’s Airbnb enough. It felt like home! I was comfortable there and I honestly miss it already, despite having returned to my proper home. You will absolutely not regret staying here. Thank you again, Sean, for welcoming me into your home and making my summer in New York City all the more enjoyable.
Best,
Mike
