I would stay at Jose's place again for sure. It's far nicer than the photos every show. It is so clean and has clearly been updated. The linens are far better than you would even expect at a top Airbnb and there are other small touches everywhere you look that make it a great place to stay. It's also very big for what you would expect in New York. Jose was very responsive and also very open to feedback on how he could make the next person's stay even better. My one tip would be to let Jose know when you will be arriving, so that he can set the Nest thermostat to warm the place before you arrive. It's all centrally controlled, so he has to make the adjustments (which he will happily do!). We arrived in the evening on a cold, February night and Jose warmed the place right up!
