My wife and I had a very good in New York and we found Richard's apartment to be very clean, in a very nice neighborhood and located very close to the Metro station.

We arrived late at night, but Richard had left the keys with the doorman, who was expecting us and we had no problem getting into the apartment. We had the whole apartment to ourselves, and Richard was always quick to reply to any questions we had while we were there. (We communicated through airbnb emails.)
The internet connection was also very good.

My wife likes to cook, and she really enjoyed Richard's newly remodeled kitchen. He has a large refrigerator, and a gas stove that is in excellent condition, with a strong vent.

One suggestion I might make is that it was an unusually cold week in May and we would have liked to have had a quilt or duvet on the bed. Also, the pillows were a little small and adding a "topper" on the mattress would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure.

Overall, this was a great experience and we highly recommend Richard's apartment the next time you make a trip to New York.
