AirBnB nailed it again! Or, rather, Christine did. Christine's fourth-floor walkup (on marble stairs) is light and bright, filled with details that make it a special place to stay. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the bathroom squeaky clean, the coffee tasty, and the wifi immediate. There are movies available, house slippers, thirsty soft towels, books about New York, snacks and water in the room, and even a sleep-sound player, and Christine is responsive to any little request, as well as being a wealth of information: she saved us a sweaty trip to Newark by recommending a shuttle service, gave us a printed list of great places to eat, and knew where to send our daughter for boot repair. Christine is fun to talk with and manages her cute little dogs well (we wouldn't have known they were there except that I asked for a dog-petting session). Even though the room has everything a person could need, Christine still came up with an extra umbrella and an extension cord – on top of the power strip already in the room. The location is great: runners could get easily to the East River or Central Park, and York Avenue is full of interesting little places all on its own. Somehow we didn't even hear the city sounds that I'd expected to keep me awake. Must be Christine's magic. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
