Travelling as a family of four - two kids (12 and 15). Great apartment bordering Nolita/LES - so perfect for reaching anything really and limitless eats/drinks/etc in walking distance. The apartment has limited natural light in the main living area - though keeping bedroom doors open helps enormously with this. Tony kindly put an extra mattress in one of the rooms so both kids could sleep in their own (double) bed.
Since the building is internal facing, it's very quiet for a busy, bustling area - you won't be woken by street noise which is an enormous plus. Check-in/out were smooth - kindly accommodating our luggage until late in the day of our checkout and any small issues where attended to immediately - and I mean, immediately. And so that brings me to the host himself ...
What most stands out about this listing is its host, Tony. I cannot express how hospitable he is - no, really, I can't! He is genuinely invested in ensuring you find what you are looking for in the city (and much more you haven't nec thought about). He answers messages/queries in seconds, is full of suggestions and local knowledge, and never in an overbearing manner. This made our stay even more memorable. I've never had an AirBnB experience like it.
When I next stay in NYC, he will, without doubt, be my very first choice of host. Thanks, Tony. I feel I met (virtually) someone special this week. (And someone should write an article about this guy - would be a fascinating read).
