The hosts were very helpful and accommodating, especially with the earlier check in and the fact that one of us had ordered a package that arrived earlier than our arrival date. Though we enjoyed the location overall, would suggest ensuring all of the appliances are operational (since the oven was broken) and keeping the AC on prior to the agreed upon check in time (for an extremely hot day like the day of check in was for us).
Also, just wanted to highlight that if you are arriving via Amtrak to NYC and are planning to go back and forth between the Airbnb and Manhattan the commute is ~1 hour.
