Serena is hands down the best airbnb host ever. I have stayed in several airbnbs but she was the easiest to communicate, friendliest and most attentive to details - more hangers, extra blanket, space in fridge dedicated to guest, toiletry, cookware, etc.
The airbnb room and her bedroom are on opposite ends of the apt with in-unit laundry, huge fully functional / equipped kitchen and living room in between so there’s plenty of privacy and space to spread out if you want.
Her place is in the best location — in the heart of Manhattan but not terribly crowded or touristy like Times Square. It is super close to multiple subway lines and in walking distance to great restaurants, hip cafes and the best groceries in town (Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s), etc.
Her fluffy cat Joy is also friendly and adorable and made my stay infinitely better.
No doubt I’m coming back to stay here! Highly, highly recommend without hesitation!
