We stayed at Claudia’s place for two days. She was very accommodating about having her housekeeper meet us in the morning before the official check in time to allow us to store our bags in her apartment. This was a huge help as it allowed us to go to meet our niece for lunch that afternoon and not have to worry about our bags. Claudia’s place does not have an elevator, although there was only one flight of stairs. We realize many apartments in NYC have at least some stairs and clarified this with Claudia before we booked. The location was close to restaurants and markets but was not as close to a subway stop as we expected from the description.
Claudia’s AirBNB was very clean with updated, comfortable furniture and all the basic supplies one would need. The apartment was very quiet. It was nice to have shampoo and soaps supplied, the shower was great, and the soaker tub looked inviting (although we didn’t have time to use it). Plenty of closet/storage space.
Everything was in working order except for some of the kitchen drawers, which would probably be an issue only if you wanted to settle in, cook and needed space. We managed just fine. Our only complaint was not having a trash can in the kitchen or dining room. One small one would be really helpful. There was also a tiny balcony which would be great for morning coffee or a drink in the evening in warm weather. Great location, great find. We’d rent it again.
