I traveled to NYC with my cousin and stayed with Steve at the Hart house. It was our first airbnb experience, and I don't think it will ever be topped! Steve went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome and even went out and bought a tea kettle for us to use! He was full of great info about the area and nyc in general, and even offered to give us a tour of the area. The apartment was spacious and clean and it was nice to meet other travelers who were staying there. The closest subway is just a couple of blocks away and the commute around town wasn't too tricky/long.
I highly recommend staying here!
