ashley's apartment is one of the best airb&bs i have stayed in. the apartment itself is conveniently located and is very well connected to manhattan (somedays we got there in 20 minutes). the subway is a 5 minute walk from the apartment and the neighbourhood itself is very cultural with many hispanic shops and food options (even in the early hours of the morning!). there is a good selection of nightlife and bars a 15 minute walk from the apartment which is nice as the road is quiet at night which is rare in new york.
the apartment itself was amazing, it was very spacious with both bedrooms being connected to it's own living are or dining area, both of which had it's own AC units. the apartment was so beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches such as books and blankets. the bedrooms were great, with storage space, comfortable mattresses and pillows as well as fans on the ceiling incase you didn't want to sleep with the AC on! the kitchen was well equipped with so many cooking utensils as well as cutlery and plates. the bathroom was quite small but not cramped.
the check in process was super easy and ashley is such a responsive host and answered any queries i had at anytime. the only thing i'd suggest is if you are going with someone who is physically impaired then there is one flight of stairs to get to the apartment which was a bit challenging with heavy luggage (but not impossible!).
