By far, my favorite Airbnb in NYC thus far. The photos do not do the apartment justice. Vanessa's apartment is incredibly spacious and comfortable. Some other apartments in Airbnb are sparsely furnished so you feel like a temporary visitor in a temporary space - but Vanessa's house had all the amenities that made it feel like home. Plenty of seating, all the kitchen utensils and supplies one would need, books, games, and a patio if you need even more space. And Vanessa was a gracious host - even waking up to let me check in at 6 am (!) because I was on a red-eye and the apartment was available earlier in the day - much appreciated!
Location wise, so many things are right near by - from the subway, to coffee, restaurants, and things to do. I will certainly be staying here in all my future NYC visits! Thank you Vanessa!
