Exactly what an Airbnb should be.
This is Nat's apartment: not a rental company or large-scale Airbnb place that charges exorbitant rents, ruins neighborhoods, and screws over tenants. It's what Airbnb is supposed to be and it was a breath of fresh air to be able to experience it.
I stayed for 2.5 months during the summer. The apartment is perfectly located, 2 blocks from Times Square, and so close to the subway (42nd St. PABT/Times Square) you don't even need to cross the street to enter it. The apartment is also very large for a midtown NYC place, one spacious living room with a sofa, desk, TV, etc. a dining room area by the entrance, and a bedroom.
Again, because it is an actual livable apartment and not a hotel room with a kitchen, it has all of the amenities you could need to live comfortably there, including AC units in the living room and bedroom to keep you cool during summer. Cooking, cleaning, and living there were an absolute breeze, and I never found myself feeling like the apartment was missing something.
Nat is also a fantastic host, she messaged me making sure that everything was okay, any issues were quickly resolved, and any questions I had about the area she also helped me out with! I would definitely say I felt like I could reach out to her about anything regarding my stay and that she would do her best to help me feel at home.
Finally, I would say that if you're used to staying in hotels or commercial Airbnbs, you should not be expecting an empty apartment with no signs of use whatsoever. It's her apartment, meaning that everything isn't "perfect" like you would find in a hotel, but that's the point of using this website!
I have no complaints and would 100% stay there again in a heartbeat; you won't be able to find a better place for long-term stays in Midtown!
