Don't second guess this place, Ron was extremely accommodating and did everything possible to help make our stay as fluid as possible. His apartment was immaculate and he was very friendly. Also, there is a subway stop one block away that takes you straight into manhattan (30 min), and if you have trouble finding parking, there is a pay garage at albert einstein college of medicine only a 4 minute uber ride away.
Overall, any qualms we had as first time Airbnb users were nullified thanks to a great experience with Ron and amazing stay in NYC. We will definitely be using his place again in the future!
