This place was SO WORTH IT! If you don't know the NYC housing market, it may be smaller than you think, but you absolutely cannot beat the price for this amount of space and amenities, not to mention location. I've gotten hotels in worst locations in NYC for more money and less than half the space. You also won't get a full kitchen, lounge area, etc.
I will mention that there isn't a door on the bathroom, but there are several curtains. This wasn't a problem for us, the sound is muffled with the curtains and all, but just a warning if you weren't expecting it.
George is awesome. He's so responsive and checks in via AirBnB message on check in and check out to make sure there's no issues and pre-emptively troubleshoot if there are. We had zero problems. Everything from how to use the shower, what to do with trash at the end of your stay, how to use the wifi, etc. etc. was all perfectly outlined. He also sent very detailed instructions on how to find the apartment and get in, including pictures which was lovely.
The location is EVERYTHING. It's so close to the subway. It wasn't too loud. There's an Ess-a-bagel right around the corner and MOMA is a couple blocks away. You can get to everything quickly and easily. The apartment is also on a perfect side street to get a Lyft or Uber.
The apartment itself is super cute. It's a shoes-off apartment, which I loved because I'm a shoes-off-in-the-house believer. The bed was awesome. It's the PERFECT not-too-soft-not-too-firm bed. I love firm beds - the firmer the better. I'd be happy sleeping on the wood floors of this apartment type firm. My husband loves soft beds that you sink all the way into. This was a great compromise for the both of us. Much more comfortable than a hotel bed.
Overall, can't recommend this place enough! You absolutely can't beat the price for all that you get!
