Wow, where do I even begin? This was my first time on Airbnb, so I was a little nervous, but having stayed in lots of hotels in NYC before, I wanted a better value and experience. I had a few friends coming to the city and we all wanted to be together, so when I came across this incredible apartment, I had to stay here - and I can't even begin to describe my experience with enough praise! First off, the apartment is located in such a convenient and fun area. Really close to the action and excitement, but on a calmer street, with a super quiet apartment and building so we could sleep and hang out peacefully. The area has tremendously fun bars and incredible restaurants, along with great places to visit, all within 2 seconds of walking distance. The apartment is unreal and unlike anything I've seen. Enormous open/spacious living room, two bedrooms, 3 queen beds (couch was a pull out, but just as comfortable as any of the beds with the thick mattress topper!), massive kitchen, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The bathrooms were really impressive, too (and even had hair dryers and straighteners!). And, to make this more unbelievable, the apartment had stunning views - it was really majestic. Everything is clean, modern, and incredibly luxurious. And, seriously, not enough praise can be heaped upon the amazing host. He was so accommodating, kind, and truly cared that we enjoyed ourselves. I wasn't very familiar with the neighborhood, so he stayed with us for over an hour, helped us what to do, where to eat and party, and answered all of our questions. He even helped my friends plan a walking tour and what tourist trap places to avoid. He constantly went out of his way to help us - it was like having a great friend and concierge service here! This stay was remarkable, I will never forget it, and neither will my friends. I will definitely be coming back because this is the best airbnb apartment in NYC! YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE!!!
