I use Airbnb all the time and all over the world and I have never been disappointed but this unit took me by surprise. So much so that this is actually my first review. The location was great (one block from Central Park which I loved because running there is the best), plenty of good restaurants near by and really groceries, wine shops and fruit stands as well ,the unit was perfect for 2 people and beautifully decorated , well stocked with whatever you need, the neighbors in the building were incredibly friendly as well as the doormen. Given all that what surprised me the most was the view from the balcony. I could not get enough. The pictures do not do it justice. Every morning on my way to run I went out to look. Total inspiration to run. Then at night I went out with a glass of wine to enjoy the lights. Seriously can not wait to get back to this unit and this is coming from someone who has a free place to stay in NYC. Oh and did I mention Alan was great. He responded in less than 6 hours when I made the request. He was available for questions (if you have never been to NYC it's nice to have a local to ask questions to). I would say don't look further.
