This apartment was just as expected - it was a very nice place in the Upper West Side, and made the city very accessible. All in all it was a good value for staying in Manhattan. The only thing that struck me as odd was that upon arrival our host informed us that we were not to mention that we were renting it through Airbnb when we picked up the key. I don't really know the legalities of the situation, but it would have been nice to know before making the reservation.
