My first Airbnb experience and I was so pleased and happy with my choice of where to stay while visiting NYC. While I normally stay in NJ in hotels, I figured I'd try the Airbnb thing for a new experience and it was definitely more affordable and convenient.
Nick's place was amazing!!! It looks exactly like the pictures posted and is just as described. Nick had great communication from my time of booking until the time I checked out. He was very flexible with check in/out times. Apt was very easy to find if you can familiarize yourself with the NYC area. There is plenty of street parking available, but be aware of the signs. You must move your car from one side of the street to the other between specific street cleaning times daily. During the day you also have to pay meter parking, 1 hour limit. After 7pm it is free. I didn't want to deal with all that so I chose to park the car at a nearby Icon parking garage for the weekend since I didn't need it. Very affordable compared to other locations. Subway was within 2 blocks walking distance, which was very convenient. Stores, restaurants, Dunkin Donuts, bakery within walking distance as well.
Apt is on 4th floor, only apt on the floor. Be prepared to use those legs as it's a hike up about 15 stairs per flight, but it's definitely great exercise and worth it. Apt was very clean and roomy. Had access to entire apt; kitchen, living room, bathroom, private bedroom, and even had laundry facilities available if needed. Bedroom is in front part of the building, with windows to look out and see the busy street life. You can also hear everything as well, buses, street machines, sirens, but with the a/c on (since it's on the 4th floor it can get quite warm) and my fan running it helped to drown the sounds out. Bedroom is very large and roomy. Bed very comfy and clean! Huge cabinet for storage of your clothes. Living room very comfy and roomy. Access to Netflix, although we barely used since we were out and about the whole time! Bathroom very nice and clean. Had plenty of towels to use.
Overall very pleased with our stay and Nick was just a text or phone call away! Thanks again for everything Nick!
