This is my 3rd time staying at an AirBnB in NYC and my first time staying with Gerald. The check-in process was very easy as he was home when I needed to check in. Very convenient place off Columbus Circle metro, with a Starbucks within the block. I like to work out when I travel and there are two CrossFit gyms within walking distance (both are really nice).
The room was sparkly clean and surprisingly large by NYC standard. Gerald stays in the living room outside my room but I’ve never had a concern. I am out a lot most of the days so we barely overlap, but even when we do, he keeps it to himself and it has never been an issue. And on the last day, I had a weird departure schedule and it was snowing outside, and Gerald graciously allowed me to stay until 5pm so that I don’t have to try to find a shelter out in the cold before my next plan comes up.
Would book again!
The only comment I would add is that it is NYC, so the building has only stairs (same thing for the other AirBnB I stayed at, too). Just be mindful of that if you have heavy luggage. Gerald did offer to help with luggage - I did not need it as I travel light, but if mobility is a concern, keep that in mind.
