What can be said about this Air BnB beyond the simple statement that it was the amazing: it is hosted by the most amazing couple (and their adorable dog), in an amazing location, and is simply amazing to stay in (the apartment itself is beautiful).

Our hosts welcomed us with open arms and treated us like family, sitting us down for a drink and conversation on our arrival—some of the best conversation we’ve had in a very long time. When we returned from dinner (and we sadly interrupted a re-watching of Game of Thrones), they asked us to join them for another drink and more conversation, and offer on which we eagerly took them up. Our first morning there, they provided us with a staggering spread for breakfast, including cappuccinos. We opted for the bagels with Nutella and almond butter.

The apartment itself is just beautiful, and so warm and inviting. The bed was incredibly comfy and very difficult to leave, the bathroom tempted us with a deep tub (a soak would have been wonderful after our long day), and everything in between was sublime.

On top of all of the hospitality, the amazing hosts, the fantastic apartment, is their adorable little dog. Every Air BnB should have a dog like theirs. He was super playful, and just made the residence that much cozier.

We just couldn’t believe our luck and how gracious our hosts were. We’ve stayed at Air BnBs before, and been fairly lucky to have good experiences, but this experience was beyond our wildest expectations. Our only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer.

They treated us like dear friends and we can say, without hesitation, that when we next come to NYC, we will be looking to stay with them first.
