As a first timer to airbnb and to New York my partner and I could not have asked for a better experience! Literally a minute walk to the L train and surrounded by nice bars and great/affordable reatausrants. We never felt unsafe and although Ben and Giorgia were not there when we arrived they were readily available to help with any questions we had. We had plenty New York books and maps in our room which was a really nice touch and eeb though it was really hot out the AC in the room was great! The place was really clean and pictures are exactly what you get. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a neat place and location to stay while in New York.
