I just returned from two amazing weeks in NY and I am happy to say that part of the success of my trip was my stay in Ali's house. Ali is an amazing hostess, really polite and helpful. Even if she was not in NY while I was there she was really quick (within less than an hour) to respond in all of my questions (before and during my stay) and she was also really kind to arrange for a friend of her, currently staying in NY, to help me in person when needed. She provided excellent tips for my stay in NY. The apartment is really nice, modern, cozy and absolutely recommended. The neighbors in the building are really nice as well. When I arrived the apartment was super clean and ready for my stay. Located in one of the best, "alive", and safe areas in NY, next to nice restaurants and coffee shops and really close to one of the best shopping areas (Soho) of NY. The purpose of my trip was business but due to the location of the house I had the chance to enjoy all of my evenings in full and reach all the nice places within walking distance. The house is fully furnished and exactly the same as it appears in the photos. Contains everything it is described in the apartment's page and more (clean towels, iron, hairdresser machine etc.), in other words whatever you need for a pleasant stay in NY. It is warm enough for the winter NY days and with hot water during all day. Ali was kind enough to welcome me with chocolates and wine. In this house I had an original NY experience and I truly recommend it for other Airbnb members' stay.
