It would be hard to overstate how great this airbnb experience was. Believe the past reviews. From this New Yorker's point of view, believe me - this is a LARGE one-bedroom! And the kitchen is not small by general NYC standards; it has everything you need. The apartment is a very warm and welcoming place. This is no surprise, as Terry is an incredibly lovely, kind, thoughtful, and responsive person. The place instantly felt like home. It is beautifully decorated, and yet it says, "come on in and make yourself comfortable." This may sound weird but in some past airbnbs I have noticed that the sofa, cushions, and/or pillows can smell...shall we say, very used, like ... hair that hasn't been washed in a while :p In Terry's place, that is not the case! Her sofas are so comfortable that they alone will make you never want to leave. :) The neighborhood, also, is VERY friendly (for NYC) and truly feels like a neighborhood. Even others in the building are much friendlier than any building in NYC I've lived in! Plus, the location is terrific - ANYTHING you could possibly need is within a block or two, and you can truly feel like a local living here. The beautiful Schurz Park is very nearby, and Central Park and the Met are a pleasant stroll away.
