I have used airbnb several time now, and I must say that this one of the larger apartments I have seen. The area could not be more perfect.
The options for dining are endless, shopping, comedy clubs, bakeries, and Washington Square Park is literally just a couple blocks away. The kitchen is really well equipped with every appliance you can think of to cook up a great meal, if you choose too. Not only is the bathroom super clean, which is important to me, but the water pressure is great. Some places I have stayed in the pressure was terrible which makes for a terrible shower, not a good way to start the day. The beds were comfortable which is also a plus. I have seen some reviews about noise and even Dain warned me that on the weekends there would be some noise, but to be very honest we did not find it to be an issue at all.....As well all the subways you need are only a couple of blocks away. It is the perfect location, and I think it is great that Dain keeps the price affordable. He is also a very laid back, nice guy to deal with and very accommodating. Being former New Yorker myself, I make a visit every year and hope to be able to stay at Dains place again next year.
