Hands down the best check-in experience and best host I've had using AirBnb. Communication was fast, he met us downstairs, took up the bags and basically showed us how everything worked in the apartment. He also put out a bottle of wine for us and texted a list of restaurant recommendations.
Apartment was very nice and very well laid out. Lots of light from the wall of windows and a partial view of the Manhattan Bridge; also had a nice balcony and sitting area. Finishes were very high-end with marble in the kitchen and bathroom. I highly recommend this host and apartment.
