Fabulous! Book it - your search should end here. Read on for details...
First, I assume that you (unlike me) know that many (most?) high-end NYC places are scams. Why Airbnb doesn't solve this is unfortunate and a topic for another day. For a successful NYC stay you must limit your search to Superhosts. Gordon is a Superhost+, just the best. Great guy - like a new friend.
The place is better than advertised but be mindful, it is what is advertised. The location is incredible, but of course you have to love and appreciate the neighborhood. The size is stunning - giant, but it is old. It is called the "carriage house" so it is quirky (it was converted) but has tons of character. If you don't like these things, it is not for you, (and that is fine), but it is not fair to expect something different.
But, if you like character, some adventure, some quirks and love the neighborhood, you are in for a lifetime memory.
It would be fabulous for a guys, girls, or couples trip. Highly recommend for that. However, we went as family: 4 teenagers, 1 baby + adults. Everyone loved it!
