We took a bit of a chance on a place without scores of reviews, but don't hesitate on this place. It couldn't be better! Matt was very responsive and a great host. He even left us a small tube of toothpaste in case we needed it (we didn't). The apt. is beautiful and spotless. Even better than the pictures. Bed is very comfortable. The kitchen is compact, but has all the pots, pans and utensils we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving feast. It even has a dishwasher! This is one the most interesting neighborhoods in NYC, and the apt. is close to the subway line-so easy access to where you want to go. We have stayed at airbnb places before, in London, NYC and Chicago, and this one was the best! A note to future visitors: The address is a little tricky the first time you come. Be sure to get an instruction on where to find the front door (and the doorman). Thank you Matt. We hope to stay here again.
