This was our first AirBNB experience and it was perfect! Laura was responsive to all our questions, greeted us and even left a nice bottle of wine! The apartment was exactly what we were looking for: spacious, quiet, private and within walking distance of Tubby Hook where we launched our kayaks for a circumnavigation of Manhattan! The air conditioning was very much appreciated. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for cooking dinner. Pack light for the 5-flight walk-up (the description does say no elevator, so we were prepared for it). The only inconvenience was trying to find on-street parking. There are a couple of garages within a half mile; might be nice to put them in the description with the approximate cost (about $25/night). Thank you Laura, we hope to come back!
