This was our first time using AirBnb and we were initially a little nervous but after meeting Bob and Gladys, we were immediately put to ease by their warmth, kindness and generosity. Gladys has a great laugh and a twinkle in her eye when she talks and you feel like you're talking to an old friend, while Bob always reassuring and made sure our stay was comfortable.

There is a private entrance into the apartment via the front and we were given a lot of privacy at all times. The area is safe and the neighbours are friendly! We love that the 46th Street subway is literally a 5 minute walk around the corner, allowing us to get into the city in 20 minutes or so.

The outside of the apartment was decorated with Christmas lights and is really pretty in the evening! Inside, it is very spacious and cozy with natural light and is well heated even in the winter.

Some features include a large TV with cable channels, a bath tub with hot/cold water, a large bed, closet with hangers, fresh towels, hair dryer and an ironing board.

The living room has a couch and a couch/bed that is comfortable for one person to sleep in. The kitchenette is compact but well stocked with the necessities such as a full sized fridge, kettle, and cutlery. The hosts were not obliged to provide food but they kindly stocked water, bread, tea, yoghurt, cream cheese, bananas and chocolates for our enjoyment. On NYE, they were even so kind to share with us the delicious food that Gladys' sister had cooked!

The official checkout time is at noon but the couple graciously allowed us to hang out all day even though they had to prepare for another arrival at night. This had saved us some stress and money and is greatly appreciated!

This truly was a wonderful experience and our only complaint is not being able to stay longer!
