Edward was very responsive whenever there were questions and when AirBnb system messages confused me.
Very friendly, so I never missed the personal contact. Now I'm spoiled by my first AirBnb.
The apartment was just as described, apart from the games console I did not see, but never needed or missed. But maybe as info for travelers with kids/teens.
Neighborhood is ... mixed. Some questionable folk, but also nice little cafes and restaurants. But there is improvement going on. So in the future it will be more attractive.
All in all, I recommend this apartment and Edward as host. If I ever make it to NYC again, this one will be on my list.
