This is in pretty much every way a great Airbnb. Rob is a really nice guy, super helpful, very fast with communications - all in all a great host. The room is large and comfortable. We slept very well in the bed after long days touring around New York! The apartment is tastefully done with pieces of art and photographs on the walls. To say that it was spotlessly clean would be an understatement. The location is excellent, It is three minutes from the A train subway, so you can be downtown in just over 20 minutes. The neighbourhood has all kinds of restaurants, banks, grocery stores. And yet as lively as the scene was at night the room in the apartment was very quiet. Our sleep was never disturbed. I’m sure it is much quieter than if we had been downtown, where there are sirens and traffic all the time. The apartment is a few minutes walk from the Met Cloisters, and there are lovely parks along the river on the norther tip of Manhattan island. When you compare to the cost of even cheap hotels, this Airbnb is a real bargain. Highly recommended!
