Anna's (aka Charlotte) place is amazing. So many Airbnbs in manhattan are either comfortable but spartan and soulless, or "cosy" but cluttered and claustrophobic. Or too hot.

Charlotte's place just feels like home. Impeccably decorated and furnished, spotlessly clean, and well air conditioned. I could say these things about so many other airbnbs, but there's few places that I would ever describe as having character, as hers does in abundance.

Needless to say Charlotte was an excellent host, met me at check in, was easily contactable, and had tips for the neighbourhood, which will not disappoint when you walk out the door in any direction.

Highly recommended for a solo traveller or couple.
