This Airbnb apartment is very nice, but personally I would not go so far as to say that it is luxury. Perhaps compared to an average apartment in NYC it could be considered luxury. Nevertheless, the apartment seemed fairly accommodating, decently clean and decorated, and well located to subway access and several shops. During the day the area seemed fine; however, I would not consider this the safest area to be outside at night. If you are driving, parking was not too difficult; there is street parking, but there are restrictions as to how much time one would be able to park on the street as well as times of day. There are many parking garages in the area that are available so as not to worry about these street parking restrictions.
The address on the listing is not the same as the actual address, but it is adjacent to the actual address. The check-in process went fairly well. Ellis did not handle check-in but rather another resident in the building named Brianna did. She was very nice and seemed willing and able to help in any way necessary.
In terms of eating and cooking, the microwave, toaster, stove, and oven allow for many cooking options; however, in terms of pots, pans, dishes, cups, and silverware, there is a lot of missing items and everything is quite mismatched. The bathroom had a strange variety of soaps and shampoos all which seemed half used. There were only a couple of towels as wells as toilet paper rolls provided, so an extended stay or a group larger than two people would be a stretch. Also, there is no washer/dryer or dedicated workspace in the unit.
