This was my first time to try Airbnb and Stav has set a high standard - his apartment is just as he describes it, the location is outstanding and the building and rooftop deck are a unique added bonus that you are unlikely to get in other places. What really makes it over the top is Stav's responsiveness and willingness to share his New York with visitors, it felt like staying at a friends place. As to the apartment, the building is well appointed and feels very secure - Stav's has everything you need and 4-5 people would be very comfortable. All in all, a great first experience with a great host!
