This was the *perfect* home for us on our stay in NYC!! Our vacation included three different cities (Boston, Philadelphia, and NY) and we stayed in three different AirBnbs - but this was the BEST. Luciana has done a truly amazing job of designing and building the space to give you everything you could need in a home-away-from-home in a beautiful and luxurious feeling place. There is amazing shelving/drawers/armoir unpack and put away your clothes, and even a steamer to get out the wrinkles! There is also a small safe in the armoir, which is very thoughtful. We didn't use the hotplate - I don't think the kitchen is really conducive to cooking meals - but we did use the mini-fridge and the microwave, and there's certainly lots of plates, bowls, glasses, cutlery etc. for whatever you need. The shower is glorious! Spacious with a wonderful rain-showerhead. The bed was super comfy with awesome pillows, and the TV overhead with remote was a really nice touch. There is some noise from the street, sure (subway/traffic/etc) - but you're in NYC, so you can't really escape the noise - and you get used to it. The neighbourhood is awesome - easy train rides to pretty much anywhere you want to go in Manhattan, plus lots of great restaurants within walking distance of the place itself. I can't recommend this place enough, and am so grateful to Luli and Pablo for building such a beautiful space and for hosting us!
