I stayed at Will's place for a little over a week and had a great time. Will is a very easy and communicative host, and though I didn't get to meet him he was always quick to respond to any messages on Airbnb, text or email. The neighborhood of the apartment is fantastic. There is everything you could possibly need in a three block radius (like you would expect most places in NYC) but it's also chilled out and neighborly. You can take the G train--though only convenient on the weekdays, or the ferry--which is a beautiful ride and pretty quick! The loft itself is very spacious, probably with most everything you would need to cook (though I didn't); there is also a pool table to use. Will and Rick, Will's roommate, keep everything very clean and tidy. The room is very large, especially by NYC standards, has comfy bed, desk, and lounging area. The only drawback was that the walls are really paper thin -- though to be honest since Rick works nights and I left early in the AM most days, it didn't bother me. Both Rick and Will were really nice and accommodating to everything I needed, I would definitely stay here again if I ever fine myself on a solo trip to NYC. Thanks Will!
