We arrived early morning in New York on our check-in date and Richard allowed us immediate check-in. He even allowed us to check out late if necessary
The apartment was very quiet, we only heard some flight noise from LAG airport, never noise from adjoining apartments or from within the apartment.
We shared bathroom with the host, but only one time did we even notice it in use, so it was no problem.
Richard is a great host and our visit and conversation with him added so much to our stay in New York. Such contact is exactly what AIR BnB ought to be. Thank you!
