I stayed 11 nights here in Chelsea. Erik could not have made my experience any more enjoyable. New to airbnb and my first time in NYC as a solo traveller I was not entirely sure what to expect.
Firstly the apartment is in the best location, so central, on 7th Avenue close to fabulous restaurants, bars, cafes, clubs, shops and subway. Then short walk to the Highline, Chelsea Market, Meatpacking district, Flatiron district, Greenwich Village, or a short subway ride to Uptown, Midtown, Brooklyn, Lower Manhatten. Secondly the light filled apartment was big enough (given the little time I spent there), very clean and tidy, but homely and comfortable.My bed was a fold out couch which was really comfortable, my room faced on to the street and though the window was double glazed at times it could be noisey but never a problem. My room was also very private and I felt very safe. The small but functional bathroom that was spotless with plenty of hot water and light.
Thirdly Erik was great, never intrusive but friendly and helpful. Always contactable, great with local information and tips, umbrella when it rained, WiFi,and was incredibly generous when on the day of departure things did not go to plan so Erik generously allowed me to stay an extra night! Lastly was Augie, Erik's adorable little dog. Quiet, cute, friendly and very well behaved.
I would definely recommend Great Space and would love to stay again on my next visit
