This Airbnb was just great. It was totally private and secure, clean and modern. There’s great wifi, a lovely bathtub, cable TV, strong air con, a fully equipped kitchen including a few thoughtful items in the fridge left for us upon arrival by Richelle and Pela, heaps of towels, pillows, mirrors.
Being an older house, it does creak a fair bit, but we were on the top floor so it didn’t really affect us. There were also several flights of stairs to contend with daily - not a problem for us, but might be for people less mobile/energetic. Pela was a true gentleman and brought our bags all the way upstairs - a godsend after 33 hours of travel!
It’s easy to get around from this location, but the subway station is about a 10 minute walk away. There’s a grocery store around the corner that has everything we needed, including an ATM, and there are a couple of restaurants nearby.
Thanks to Richelle and Pela for making our first visit to NYC so easy and pleasant. We definitely hope to stay in touch!
