I was passing through New York for 24 hrs right in the middle of the United Nations General Assembly week and was shocked to find even 3* hotels averaging about $800/night. Went straight to AirBnB and found this little gem with Grace as the friendly and efficient host. She very kindly waited up for me to check in late evening but I wouldn't bank on that every time! The apartment is pristine and beautifully decorated. The room was my own little bit of 5* luxury with an extremely comfortable bed. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a little further up town. I was able to get an Uber for about $35 and it took less than 30 mins. All in all a great find
