Our stay at Peter's loft of nine days was our first airbnb experience, and to make a long story short: In the future, we'll always start this way :-)
Peter responded always very quickly to any request, and even at our late arrival, he did send us an e-mail to make sure all went well - and it did: His loft is very cozy, just the right mixture between remainings from it's former use and up-to-date equipment. The bathroom is modern, and so is the fully equipped kitchen. The bedroom was a very quiet place, and the huge living room did beat everything!
The panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline (Empire State Building, Chysler Building, and so on) was another big plus that not many other apartments have to offer.
The neighborhood was friendly and safe, all the shops we needed were in walking distance, as well as the next subway station and a bus stop.
Due to Peter's friendly assistance, even our last day was a very easy one (thanks again!), and so we highly recommend his Paradise!
