The apartment was great. We arrived early but our host made arrangements so that we could drop off our luggage and pick up the keys from the cleaning lady. Things went pretty smoothly. Location was central and ideal for our needs. Walking distance to many attractions, theater and fantastic dining. Close to lots of action and great proximity to many subway lines. If you are a theater/Broadway buff you will love this location. The unit was fine for the two of us. We were a little worried that it would be too small, but it wasn't. We were able to accommodate for our belongings in the apartment. Even though it is a studio, we didn't feel cramped and managed well with all our luggage. It felt large and roomy, probably because is is so bright with a pretty nice view. Microwave was a little loud when in use, but otherwise the kitchen was sufficient and served our needs (we only ate breakfast in). Bathroom was pretty nice too - one of those old fashioned showers with really, really good pressure. Not a wimpy shower like we have at home (ha ha). Neighborhood is maybe a little noisy, but that was easily addressed by leaving the fan/AC on as white noise, so really not an issue. Neighborhood was fine. No security issues and never felt unsafe. The doorman from 4pm to 1am was an added bonus. In general, we were very pleased with our first AirBnB experience. We really enjoyed our time there. We would strongly recommend the apartment and would give a rating of 9/10.
