Edward was a great host. He made our 1st trip to NYC and 1st Airbnb experience a great and comfortable one. We arrived at Penn Station in NYC around 11am on a Friday and he helped us navigate the subway to get to his place. He was flexible and accommodating to our arrival and departure times. Edward answered any questions we had regarding recommendations, directions, navigating the subway, etc. He was host + concierge. The room was very comfortable and cozy. The bed was also very comfortable. He provided towels and had shower amenities (Kiehls, it is NY afterall) better than many high end hotels . WiFi is provided. There's no AC in the room but there is a tower fan that worked fine for us. His place is located right in the midst of restaurants, bars, and shops with fun activities all day and night. If you are bothered by noise, then this may not be suitable for you but it didn't bother us because this is New York! Edward also has a playful, "ninja" cat that liked to shoot into the room and onto the bed whenever we came in. We enjoyed playing with the cat when we were relaxing in the room. Overall, great first experience for us and we really enjoyed our trip. There were no surprises as Edward was up-front about everything from the noise to the cat. We highly recommend Edward and his place for people who want to be right in the middle of it all.
