Located on the 7th Ave&W 26th St, the apartment was huge, fun, and convenient.
1. The space
I stayed in Yair's room for three days. That room was different from the room shown in the pictures but it had a big, comfy mattress, a closet with a narrow mirror on the outside, and shelves which I could put my things on. There is a little space in the closet so you can hang 5-6 of your clothes there. Also, the shleves are mostly filled with the owner's possesions but there will be room somewhere.
It had nice touches especially on the ceiling. The room had a dim lighting but there are two big windows. If you remove the curtains, you would get enough light.
There are two shared bathrooms which are not super clean but I had no problem with them. Water pressure of both toilets is quite weak so keep this in mind.
2. The host
I did not get to meet Yair but his roomates, Aaron and Francis, were there to talk to during my stay. They are hospitable and funny New Yorkers. They don't sleep till late so if you want to talk to them just go for it. They are amiable and witty people.
The actual host was Aaron and Yair gave me his number so I texted him when I needed something. Aaron was quick to answer my texts and communicative.
I had a pleasant time talking with Francis, Aaron, and other Airbnb guests in the last night of my stay. We had various topics and talked about each others' lives. I won't be able to forget that night easily.
You will learn a lot about the Big apple & what it is like to live there.
3. ETC
You have to walk up&down 4 stories to get to the room or to get out so be mindful of this if you're carrying heavy luggage.
There is halal food & Chipotle near the house which is fantastic.
Thank you Aaron & Francis for your hospitality !
