Staying at this AirBnB was an incredible experience. The host Anne is so sweet and was extremely hospitable and had great suggestions for things to do/places to see. The apartment is at an incredible location, just 3 short blocks from the subway station from where you can get direct subways to midtown/timesquare. It is also right next to Central Park and is surrounded by many authentic, ethnic hole-in-the-wall restaurants and coffee houses. Anne made us feel right at home after a long day of touristing in the city. The room is in the back corner of the house, so privacy was never an issue. I would highly recommend this place if you're visiting New York city!
