I enjoyed my stay at this one-bedroom apartment, conveniently located on 2nd Ave. Initially, I had mistakenly booked another unit facing 2nd Ave, but I was concerned about the street noise, so, fortunately, Antonio kindly offered me another unit on the 6th floor facing the back of the building, which was much quieter.
Because I was moving from another AirBnb nearby, I was initially concerned about where to wait before checking-in. But Antonio kindly let me self-check in first thing in the morning, so I didn't have to be stuck in a third location with all my luggage, which helped me a lot.
The apartment was spacious with good AC units in both rooms and high ceiling. The kitchen stove only had two electric burners, which limited my cooking, but it was no problem for me as there were many good restaurants all around the neighborhood. - even a pizzeria right next to the building.
The apartment was conveniently located, only 2 blocks from the 77th St #6 subway station, and 10 minute walk to Central Park. Grocery stores, hardware stores, iphone repair stores, laundromats were all very close by too, and AFI provided a comprehensive typed list as well.
Wifi was fast and stable, and I had a number of online interviews, etc without any difficulties.
In our internet exchanges, Antonio was always very prompt and kind. Since everything worked so smoothly, we only exchanged messages when I booked the unit and at the start and end of my stay.
Antonio's staff also always regularly cleaned the common areas, so the building always felt very clean and well managed. The double-doors in the front the building also made it feel secure even though it faces a busy street.
Thank you again!
