This was one of the best AirBnB experiences I've had (and I've stayed in a lot of places)! The apartment seemed newly renovated and was very clean, and it's in a central location and convenient to get around Manhattan. I used to live in NYC and have come back frequently to visit, but this was the first time with my kids and I'm happy we chose this apartment. For a family of 4 in NYC, it's way better to stay in an apartment than a hotel room since my husband and I had the privacy of the bedroom and my two young kids shared the pull out couch in the living room. It was great to have a kitchen so we could prep a few quick meals at home, and Richard generously provided snacks and drinks. My 4-year-old was especially impressed with the Toto toilet, and he called it the "magic toilet apartment"! Richard was the perfect host and very accommodating - he reached out a couple of times to make sure we didn't need any extra towels, etc. and he let us check in early and out late since nobody had booked right before or after us - which was super helpful given our flight times. I don't usually write reviews, but I would highly recommend and will likely stay again next time we're in NYC!
