Sne was such a great host, very friendly and full of great New York information! He was so flexible with regards to our check in which made it less stressful and so easy. The room is spacious, clean and very inviting. He had many of the essential toiletries, towels and glasses waiting on the dresser for us plus house rules and a map of the area neighborhoods...so helpful. He greeted us with a cup of fresh pressed coffee and great conversation before we headed out to explore. I could tell he enjoys the company of his guests and wants them to be comfortable. The room had an air conditioner that worked great. The neighboring buildings are close in proximity, especially if there is a party but the fan from the AC was the perfect white noise. There is a small bar next door on first floor and a little mini market across the street. Lots of activity around the corner and close to SOHO. Take your shoes off at the door and enjoy this airbnb. We did!!
