Sams place was nothing less than what was beautifully described in his Airbnb description. Close to a variety of restaurants and shops, stores and public transportation. There were cool beverages waiting in the fridge upon arrival which was much appreciated especially in the NY summer heat. Sam also took the time to guide me to his place via phone so that I would not get turned around by my gps directions, that alone blew me away from the beginning! Sams parents who live upstairs were also extremely kind and helpful ( I see where Sam gets it from). Best Airbnb thus far!
