We had a wonderful week staying at Robin's apartment. Our entire family (7 people) was able to stay very comfortably with enough room for everyone. The 6 beds (4 twins, 2 doubles) were very comfortable and the bedding was very nice. The kitchen had all of the items we needed to make meals after a long day exploring the city. Robin keeps it well stocked with more than enough plates, cups, utensils, etc. for everyone to use. The sitting area is nice and also had enough room when we were all just hanging out.
It was very easy to find and access with the instructions from Robin. We used the 116th st. subway station every day and its a very easy walk to/from the apartment. The 24 hour grocery store around the corner from the apartment is a great plus to the stay as we were able to always get food or anything we needed.
We used the transportation people Robin recommended to and from the airport and they were very reliable got us to/from the apartment quickly with all 7 in one vehicle.
There are also alot of good restaurants and delis to stop and grab a quick bite between the subway and the apartment. We mostly hit the delis for breakfast sandwiches but we did some grab and go from others on 116th and 3rd avenue that were recommended by Robin.
We were able to get into the lower part of the city in less than half an hour every day and get home very easily each night. The 6, 4 and 5 trains all go through Grand Central Terminal.
We found the neighborhood very welcoming and to be very authenic NYC. This is not a tourist area and we really liked that. It was great to connect with the local residents at the stores and delis and stop and chat with the groups of folks hanging outside when the weather was nice. We were pretty obviously tourists with our backpacks and shopping bags and everyone was always so nice on the streets.
Overall, one of our best AirBNB experiences. Robin is such a wonderful host and great communicator! We would definitely rebook if we make it back to NYC.
