I have to say, I was nervous at first to book a room, being my first time using this website. But after going through with it and landing upon Ryan's listing, I couldn't possibly say enough good things about it. From start to finish he was prompt in communication back and forth and was easily available to answer any and all questions. Ryan is the most welcoming, helpful and all around friendliest host anyone could ask for. (and his dog Tyson is an angel!!) My friend and I came to the city for a music festival and weren't expecting anything to fancy, we simply needed a place to rest our head at night. When we got to Ryan's place, we parked in the super convenient overnight parking garage right next door. (the prices were really good too!). The apartment was so clean and well kept you would never think that a dog lives there with him! He had brochures for things to do in the city on the nightstand, towels in the closet, a set of keys on the dresser and made sure we knew where everything in the house was so that we could feel right at home. In my opinion it was better than any hotel we could have rented in that price range and going forward I will prefer this type of arrangement over booking a hotel. I will 100% recommend staying here to anyone of my friends or family planning to go to NYC as I too will be using this listing again in the future! Thanks again Ryan!!
