This was a great a great place to stay. As a previous reviewer indicated, it has a homey feel. Of course that is because you are in someone's home. This is the first time I booked an apartment that somebody lives in regularly, but it was great. It must be a great leap of faith for Allie to have strangers in her home when she is not present, but it worked well for us. Allie is easy to communicate with, and the apartment is spacious for a good rate in a great neighborhood. Allie even left snacks, items in the fridge, and umbrellas if needed. I found the apartment to be very clean. and we did not find any of the cleaning issues a previous reviewer had cautioned about. I stayed with my adult son, who slept on the futon in the living room, and he had no complaints. The location is amazing. You are right near Union Square. Many places are walking distance, and you are close to about 8 different subway lines. I highly recommend Garden of Eden grocery around the corner. This was one of my best Airbnb experiences. And as a frequent traveler to Manhattan, this was the best place I have ever stayed. To have a complete 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment that is so lovely and in such a great location, for the same price as a decent hotel room, is a no brainer. I would definitely stay here again. 2 thumbs up.
