This was our first airbnb stay and first time in NY. Since our first steps into the apartment we felt comfortable, the place is really nice. Mary has informed us before our arrival, we had all the information needed to make our stay starts at best. The neighborhood is very nice, pretty quiet. You can easily find restaurants and small shops. The metro is a 5 minute walk, you will be twenty minutes in the lively and trendy NYC neighborhoods. Very good experience, we recommend this apartment.
