Generally, we had a great time in NYC! I gonna start with the positive aspects concerning the apartment: It's great located in chinatown, where you can find lots of places to eat in the evening! The subway ist just 2 minutes away and you can take lots of different trains there. And it's very cheap!
But: At the beginning it was quite hard to contact Paul! Our journey started on a sunday morning and since tuesday we tried to get information about how getting into the apartment. As he didn't answer our mails, phone calls and messages we called the airbnb-help-center sunday morning on our way to the airport. The also started to contact him and the tried to organize a hotel, since we didn't know if we gonna be able to get into Paul's apartment. As we arrived at JFK, we had a message from Paul that we get more information soon. Lucky us we had wifi at the subway station where we had to change trains: That was the moment, he texted us to get the keys at the restaurant next doors. Unfortunately nobody could tell us the number of the apartment. Actually we checked every apartment in the house with the keys, till we found out where it fits. After all these complications everything worked well, but that wasn't a relaxed start into our holidays. The apartment itself is small but alright for two persons. It wasn't very clean (i.e. the bin in the bathroom wasn't empty) and we couldn't find out, how to close the windows to prevent someone getting into the apartment from outside.
All in all I have to say that the apartment is very well located and cheap for NYC but our stay could have been much more relaxed! Unfortunately, I can´t recommend booking Paul's apartment :-(
