I loved staying at Mallory's place. Her description was spot on so there were no surprises. She was kind enough to leave fruit and snacks on the table and helpful instructions, including suggested places to eat etc.. posted on the refrigerator.

The neighborhood is nice and safe. Close walking distance to pretty much anything you could want. My husband and I had tickets to the NYC Craft Beer Festival on W 46th street and made it there easily on the A train, which I was excited about since it was both our first times riding the subway.

We took Mallory's suggestion the first night and had dinner at Burger Heights, a 10-12 minute walk from the apartment. On the way back, we stopped off at the Buddha Beer Bar, to have a beer and watch part of the World Series.

If you like to sleep on firm pillows, I suggest bringing them with you - but the bed was comfortable and was plenty big enough for myself (5ft10) and my husband (6ft5).

Her apartment is spotless and I loved the hardwood floors. I also loved the tall shower head, not something shorter people have to think about - lol.

We drove into the city and found parking on the street the first night and left our SUV there for the duration of our stay. We either walked or took the A train when we went out.

If you don't find parking on the street, there are 2 public parking garages within 2 blocks that cost an average of $15 per day, which I thought was very reasonable and a good option had we needed it.

This was my first experience using Air BnB and Mallory made it seamless and easy. I appreciate that more than words can say.
