This was my second airBnb in New York and my second airBnb in total.
I stayed at this apartment for 10 days.
Location - the apartment is located on the 85th street and 5th avenue, it is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood and 10 minutes walking to 86th subway. There you can find many Fast food chain resturants and many middle eastern resturants, shopping centers, banks and more. It was easy for me to get a pizza at 1AM, dunkin donuts, starbucks.
Parking - if you have a car you might get a chance to park it outside since it is not a busy street OR park it in the parking garage ($$) near by.
Apartment - the apartment is pretty small and good for 2 guests with a comfortable twin bed, a handy kitchen and a clean bathroom, a Tv (cables, amazon firetv), a couch and a small closet. The apartment is on the 2nd floor which is bad if you have heavy suitcases and good to avoid footsteps noises.
Joanne - I did not get a chance to meet her but she was responsive and nice to help me when i needed something, prior to my arrival she sent a message with information regarding my check-in, she was asking if I needed shampoos, etc.
Subway - closest subway is station is 86th street you can take the R towards manhattan queen R and change at 59th street and take the N towards manhattan.
* There was no washing machine so it is kinda bad when you need to wash your clothes
* There was water in the fridge and chocolate on the table which is pretty nice touch from her.
* No keys, the doors opens with a code which is convenient and you do not have to worry about carrying keys around.
