Elizabeth was great! Easy to work with and flexible in setting up the arrival times. She was positive and engaging and had wine and coffee on the table upon arrival! The Brownstone was all that we had expected. Plenty of space for us all to relax and enjoy. After long days of walking NYC, it was a great place to come home to. We gathered at end of the day in the living area and enjoyed coffee on the back deck in the morning. Beds and linens were all in good order and with 2.5 baths, plenty of space for all to get ready.
The neighborhood was good as well. We had researched restaurants to get to during our stay and Elizabeth had a restaurant guide that was even more detailed and informative to help us out. The Red Rooster was high on our list and to our delight was 2.5 blocks away.
We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely brownstone and if the need ever arises again where I need a place for 6-9 people I will contact Elizabeth again (hoping she will have us!)
I have only used AirBnb occasionally and what I find most enjoyable over a hotel stay is that you insert yourself into a neighborhood or area that you would not normally get to experience with a hotel. You get a feel of the neighborhood, its culture and what its like to live there. We are tourists, but do not want to do what most tourists do, and this offers a great experience.
