This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great for my brief trip to New York. I had many commitments all over the city but primarily on the East Side, and Victoria's apartment was perfect as it is in a quiet, safe neighborhood (Yorkville), in a Historic Landmark building. There are many bus routes nearby, which is good because the subway is four long blocks over (fine in good weather but in January I was very happy for the bus!). She is on the second floor so it was nice to not have to climb many flights of stairs (as one often must in New York buildings). The room is small but private with a large, comfortable bed, and the bathroom was clean with a strong, hot shower. For winter visits, be sure to bring some thick socks or slippers, as the tile floors can be chilly. Victoria was very friendly, as was her cat, and was at the ready for any information or assistance. During booking she responded quickly to my queries and everything was very smooth. A great first experience!
