Exactly as described. Close to everything. Communication wonderful. Our first Airbnb cancelled on us a week before our stay. In the frenzy of rushing to book something else -I booked and the next day when confirming our reservation I created an error on my account that automatically cancelled all future bookings. Host was very understanding and accommodating working with us to rebook their place without cancellation fees from my error. Host was very upfront about the apartment being on the 5th floor and very graciously allowed us a later checkout when our flight was pushed back to 6pm.Location offered lots of restaurants, an affordable place we would drop our laundry off and pick up the next day, a great bakery and the subway was less than a seven minute walk. During our stay we saw shows at 6 different theaters all within pleasurable walking distance and without concern of our safety during walks home. Yes! The area can be loud at night but you are in NYC and the Heart of Hell’s Kitchen—Crank the AC shut the blinds and you’ll be fine!
