A big thank you to Emily for allowing us to use her place. Communication and check in was perfect and made my first time using AIRBNB as simple as I could have hoped for.
Emily's place was a perfectly clean and comfy apartment, with a cosy and cool vibe. (some great art hanging and a great book collection!). The space is a decent size, and the building is super quiet, so after a long day of adventuring it is easy to get your head down and sleep.
With all that said the best thing about Emily's place is the location. For those nights when you might be feeling a bit tired and wanting to stay local you are only a short walk to a lot of great places to eat and drink, and a short walk will also take to a great view of Manhattan.
As for Manhattan itself, Emily's place is perfect to use as a base to explore the wider city. You are only a 4/5 minutes walk from the subway station, and it is only one stop into the city proper. Which means you are in the hustle and bustle of the city in no time and all, Emily was also kind enough to have left some guidebooks there for us, so you can have your journey and day planned out very easily.
I would highly recommend Emily's place to anyone looking to explore the city.
