I have stayed in a number of Air b&b and VRBO's for a number of years and this was one of my best experiences. Communication was fantastic. I texted Dom to find out if he had a blender. Within minutes he got back to me and told me he did not have a one but that he borrowed one from a neighbor for me to use. When we arrived, our plane was delayed a number of hours and getting into the city took time. We did not arrive until the wee hours of the morning and Mo was there to greet us. She was happy and it was delight a to meet her. We texted back and forth and she was responsive and friendly thorough out. She contacted us the next day to make sure everything was okay. She took us to the subway to make sure we knew where it was. She was the type of person that you could imagine being friends with.

We read previous reviews telling us how nice they are and that was one of the reasons we rented from them. The reviews were all correct.

The apartment is exactly as pictured. It is basically a rectangle. There was more than enough room for us. When we got there we were able to open up a bottle of wine to drink. That was an added bonus. There was a great music system with loads and loads of CD's for us to choose from. I didn't even have to plug in my device for music although I could have. We had so much music to choose from.

The apartment was amazingly quiet. Even if it were not in New York. I have been to New York many, many times over the years and this was one of the quieter apartments I have been in. My wife is a bit noise sensitive and she had no problem sleeping at all. The bed was a bit firm yet comfortable. Some new pillows would have been nice. Those were kind of flat. It also would have been nice to have somewhere to put our cloths but living out of our suitcases was not a problem for us.

We would have loved to have met Dom but he was traveling at the time we were there and Mo took care of us. this is actually the apartment that Dom lives in so I guess he rents it out when he is not there. This made it feel like we were living in the city rather than just visiting which was great.

We were walking distance to China town, little Italy, LES, or even to walk over the Manhattan bride to Brooklyn which was right next to the apartment.

I would certainly stay here again and look forward to the next time I am in New York.
