If you are looking for a "real" NYC experience, this is it - very highly recommended! Francesca's home is an amazing character filled New York brownstone in a beautiful neighbourhood, just half a block from Central Park which we explored nearly every day. Great supermarkets (Wholefoods, D'Agostino and Trader Joes), several subway stations, shops, restaurants are just minutes walk away and it is and easy to get around. The space itself is beautifully furnished with antiques and fine art, feels warm and authentic with lots of character - we just loved it. The kitchen is well equipped to cook at home with beautiful crockery and the bedrooms and space is huge. The location is amazing - just a few stops on the Subway and you are in Midtown and all the action of NYC but at night you get to come home to a quiet street, a quiet home and have a great sleep. We stayed during Thanksgiving and were able to enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner at home in the formal dining room which was a delight coming from Australia. Communication with Francesca was fast and courteous and very helpful. Again, I cant recommend this place highly enough - one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in. Thank you Francesca and Jack!
