The location of the brownstone apartment is really unbeatable. You are right next to the subway station and only a block from Central Park. Great restaurants and bars are minutes by walking. Louise is a very nice host and good to talk to. The bed was comfy and room spacious. We did not use the kitchen. This was our first time staying in an Airbnb while the owner was home. It was fine and presented no awkward moments LOL. We did have to pretend to be out of town family/friends as there has been some controversy regarding Airbnb. One night when we got home there was a nasty note in the hall about the police evicting sublet guest! Nothing ever came of it but I am afraid it will only get worse.
