It was the first time in NYC for me and my boyfriend (and the first time we rented on Airbnb) and it was a great stay thanks also to Ori and its apartment.
It's on the 4th and last floor (no elevator) in a tipical brick building in the middle of East Village, a district full of young and kind people, restaurants and bars and all the services you need (money change, supermarket, laudry..).
It's near the metro station (F line in less then 5 minutes walk) and you can reach Soho, Nolita and the Flatiron district just walking.
Ori has been helpful from the beginning with kind reply messages in 24h or less. The communication was great by emails and when we arrived we found there his cousin (since he rent his home when he's away) who showed us the apartment and who gave us helpful tips about how to move in the city.
The apartment is exactly as showed in the photos. It's light, cosy and clean, it really gaves the impression be live some days as a local. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped (even if we never really cooked here).
We were waked up by the sun rays through the window and we really enjoyed it, but if you don't like sun in the morning bring with you a sleeping mask, this is the only advise.
We really recommend this host and its apt, I can't wait to come back there!
