This was me and my family's first airbnb stay, and we were so delighted with our stay! I think the best part was the location. To be completely honest, at first we were a little scared on our walk from the 50th St D train subway at night since the houses were older than we were used to. But I have to say, seeing lots of families out and about and good foot traffic gave me the sense that this was a safe neighborhood. I was right. Once we reached 8th ave, right around the corner from the apartment, we were floored...this was our heaven! Never had we seen so many and such good food options and groceries right outside during our vacation. We felt so at home surrounded by the hustle and bustle of working class families, authentic (and cheap too) Chinese food, and easy access to everything from coin laundry to boba. We learned later that if you get off take the N train instead and get off at 8 Av/61st St, it's an amazing safe lively walk home amongst tons of folks through Chinatown even late at night. My parents repeatedly told me how happy they were living right at Chinatown and getting all our meals taken care of so easily thanks to this. It was a godsend. About the apartment itself, it was truly our home away from home. As others have mentioned, it is no frills and very simple. The remodeled kitchen and bathroom vanity is really nice and exactly like the pictures, but aside from that it's not a designer-finished apartment by any means. I would take that any day though given the amazing price and the huge space we got. Lily so graciously set up the futon for us (which was really comfy!) so that our family of four slept like kings. We had so much space. The living room where the futon is is kind of in the middle though between the two bedrooms and the kitchen/bathroom/exit, so whoever sleeps there doesn't have a door necessarily, but there is the benefit of being closest to the air conditioning unit. The two bedrooms each have a huge queen bed, and one room even has a closet. It was not completely dark at night since you're facing fluorescent lighting from signage of a shop across the street, so if you need pitch black to sleep consider bringing a sleep mask. But we didn't mind. The sheets were super soft and light and fluffy. The carpet and everything else was pristine and we could tell it was vacuumed thoroughly and extremely clean, the bathroom was spotless. And then there were a number of nice little things like umbrellas in the closet, a hot water kettle, extra pillows in the closet that made us feel so well taken care of by our host. Lastly we never met Lily in person, but she was an extremely sweet and thoughtful host through text. She always responded to my...
