What a wonderful experience for a first AirBnB experience! We picked Arthur and Ed's place for the location and all the positive reviews and were not disappointed. Chelsea market, Greenwich village, Flatiron district can all be reached by foot or a short bus/subway ride away. Since several subway lines have stations on 23rd St., it is easy to access all parts of NYC without the fear of getting lost. We also felt very safe walking 'home' late at night. Arthur met us when we arrived and provided a great deal of useful information for us and answered a number of questions we had. We told him the sites we were visiting and he provided suggestions to restaurants that one would not typically find on tourist sites. BTW, we texted Arthur for the name of a restaurant he told us about previously when we were in the Financial district and he immediately responded with the info! He also recommended dinner at the Red Cat restaurant just below the townhouse since we were arriving in the evening and did not want to venture too far for a good meal. The Red Cat was wonderful and we would definitely eat there again. We can only second all the reviews about the wonderful accommodations, cleanliness, and continental breakfast provided. I especially enjoyed sharing a glass of wine and conversation with Arthur and Ed when we returned early one night. As mentioned in other reviews, they will provide as much privacy or conversation as their guest desired. Will not have to spend time looking for accommodations for our next visit to NYC, it will be at Arthur and Ed's.
