Everything went very smooth. The Airbnb was perfect for what I needed. The location in the Upper East Side was great. I felt very safe, and it was just a few blocks walk to Central Park. The coffee place across the street was wonderful. There were so many great places to eat right outside. I wish I had a chance to try more of them. Coming home later in the evening, the area right outside the apartment is fairly quiet. I didn’t notice any noise issues.
The only things I will point out that visitors should be aware of are the following:
1. The entrance is not that nice looking down on the street. The building itself it not the prettiest, and you basically walk into a door by a wooden wall that appears to be a construction barrier. Having said that, I did not find that to be a problem. But I just want to make you aware of it.
2. The apartment is basically a 2 bedroom apartment that was rented out three ways. The bedrooms on each end were rented out, and a hallway/living area in the middle was rented out. The lady renting out the middle hallway area said she has rented that for awhile, and she was really nice. The bathroom for this unit is on the other side of that hallway. So you can either walk through there past the woman, OR there IS a door from this room directly to the hallway out of the apartment. So you can go out there and re enter the apartment by the main door, avoiding that hallway if you would like. The lady is SUPER NICE and she did not mind my walking to the bathroom at night, but I did not want to disturb her, so I tried to use the door that led out of the apartment. I hope this all makes sense.
Having said all of that, these two issues are very minor, and I wish I was still staying in the apartment right now. I had a great time, and I don’t know if I could have found a better price considering the location. Would definitely stay there again!
