Sara is a wonderful host. The apartment is exactly as pictured, and in a great neighborhood with a VERY short walk to the subway to go anywhere in NYC you want to go. The convenient 24 hour grocery just a few steps away on the corner is nice. The apartment is clean and had everything we needed - hair dryer, hangers, fully-supplied kitchen. trash bags— if we needed it, it was there. On the warm days this week (last week of August, 2019), the air conditioning worked great and we were very comfortable. There was also AMAZING water pressure and hot water in the shower. This may not sound that important, but after a long day of walking 11-14 miles on a warm summer day in NYC and many trips in the subway, you just want to wash all the “city grime” off of you and that shower waiting for you was wonderful. Sara leaves very clear, easy to follow instructions and is very quick to respond through AirBNB. She also gave us spot-on suggestions for some eating establishments nearby, which was appreciated.
We had an issue with being given the wrong key when we first arrived, but we reached out to Sara and her husband Bill and they both responded immediately (even with Sara in a plane on the tarmac) and the issue was resolved within minutes. Keep in mind that the apartment is up one fairly steep flight of stairs, which is customary for most of the apartment buildings in NYC from what I’ve seen. It didn’t present a problem for us, but keep that in mind if stairs are difficult for you.
Comfortable bed, great A/C, wonderful water pressure, responsive and thoughtful hosts — what more can you ask for? I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend as a comfortable and conveniently located place to stay in NYC.
