Didier was a great host, very responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible regarding checkin and checkout times.
I've been very fortunate with Airbnb, and the places I've stayed in have aways closely matched the description and pictures on the listing. Not Didier's! Upon walking in we realized that the apartment had been completely remodeled, everything was brand new! He said he wanted to surprise us, and that he did. Didier has made good use of the space, even adding a walk-in closet. Special shout-out to the new shower.
Winter was in full swing during our stay, and we were able to keep the apartment nice and warm (bonus: the bathroom has a built-in ceiling fan heater).
The apartment was very clean, despite having been completely rebuilt the week before. Fresh bedding, towels, fancy-looking toiletries and an air filter.
It was the perfect amount of space for me, my wife and our three year old.
The location is excellent. We used to live a few blocks away, and refuse to stay in any other neighborhood when visiting NYC. Didier is our new go-to Airbnb in the area.
