When our New York City-based family had to find a temporary home without much notice because the construction from our renovation work was kicking up too much dust, we were delighted to find Asia and Marvin's AirBnB close to our apartment. It is a huge duplex with three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs and several very large closets for storage. Downstairs is a large eat-in kitchen, 2nd full bathroom, formal dining area, formal living room area and TV den--all attached. Six adults can fit easily in the three upstairs bedrooms with additional sleeping on the convertible couch downstairs. And unlike a hotel, folks can relax in the common areas downstairs after a big day in the city
and take advantage of making breakfast, etc. in the duplex without having to go out for every meal. There are very thoughtful and helpful amenities like a stackable washer/dryer in the kitchen (with laundry soap/bounce sheets), Paul Mitchell shampoo/conditioner, coffee and filters, maps of the city, take-out menus, etc. etc. We thought it was very well equipped. As Asia writes, there is nearby access to two main subway lines. If you had anyone in your party who couldn't walk up a steep hill, you'd want to stick with the 1 line, not the A. Another real plus for August in NYC--each bedroom and the downstairs area had appropriately strong air conditioners. We had weather way up in the 90s for part of our week stay and life would have been much different without that resource. If we have any groups of family or friends coming to visit us in NYC, will definitely rent again.
