This was our first experience of AirBnB and it was terrific.We knew the UES fairly well, but not this exact location.
The apt. was perfect for our needs, very comfortable, and in a great location. We used a one week ticket ( $30 ) for the Metro and bus and found it great -- Unlimited travel all over the city . The apt. is 2 minutes from a bus stop in either direction and the service is great. A bus every few minutes. The restaurants in the area ( within 3 minutes walk ) are really excellent. We ate out all the time and especially recommend Quattro Gatti, almost next door. But we did not eat in a bad place once in this area. We tried 5 different restaurants ( Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Italian )
Mark is a great host, could not be more helpful and responsive. He went out of his way to be helpful. I would highly recommend this apt./Mark/location .
