Ori is a phenomenal host! He was highly responsive and communicated important information well. I stayed for 5 weeks. The apartment itself is quite clean and has a modern touch, despite being in an older building. The kitchen is compact and took a little getting used to, but I found it worked perfectly for simple meal prep and basic recipes. The nearest laundromat is very affordable, and only located about 5 minutes away on foot. There are also quite a few delis and grocery stores in a very convenient proximity, and a Duane Reade not even a minute away. The area is very walkable and even though it’s pretty close to Times Square and 42nd, it’s quiet- which makes it a lot easier to get a good night’s sleep.
My stay was through July so I’m very glad the apartment had an air conditioning unit installed in the window, however if you’re staying in the colder months I also noticed a portable space heater in the closet.
Overall, my stay was wonderful and I would definitely recommend this Airbnb for a long or short term stay in NYC!
