Luis is a host who responds very quickly to message! We were out of toilet paper and Luis was there within 30 mins. We also requested hand towels and Luis had them stocked speedily!
The location of this airbnb is within walking distance to a number of metro stations. It was very convenient to travel to and from. Lots of great food places nearby, and there's a McD on the corner is 24h if you need late night grub. We also had a Duane Reade on another corner for amenities.
The place is very plain and no frills. Housemates are quiet and you barely see them. I would recommend if you plan to use the metro a lot to explore the city! Area also seemed safe (no sketchy figures) and within walking distance of Penn Station (like 5 mins away) and Times Square (20min walk).
Lots of flower shops on that street so you wake up, go out and get refreshed within minutes. I was very tempted to buy flowers to bring back to the apartment. It was like a garden stroll sometimes.
I would recommend this place and I would be willing to stay here again.
