good location !
perfect service !

i have my own vacation rental home as well.
we made a reservation because we have overbooking.

my customer really liked it.

The apartment was exactly as advertised. The location is all right, convenient to the 9th and 10th Avenue buses and the 8th Avenue subway line. The neighborhood is an interesting mix of commercial and residential places. There are good restaurants and shopping within walking distance. The 24-hour deli directly across the street is convenient. We found the people we dealt with (Alec and Aida) very pleasant. We had some problems with the TV cable reception and Alec straightened them out quickly. We had a very long flight into JFK and Aida made it possible for us to check in earlier than normal.

Background: upper middle class family of three (including 16-yr.-old daughter) from a Chicago suburb on vacation for a week at the start of Aug. I value A/C on hot days, which were in abundance during our stay. We stayed in one of several units that the landlord has in a building in W. Midtown. All units are supposed to be alike. NYC is expensive & space-limited. Given that, this unit was a reasonable deal. The studio apt. was generally as pictured. All clean and fairly modern. The photos are artfully shot to make the unit appear a bit larger than it is (perhaps 450 sq. ft.), sufficient for 3 people, but not spacious. The walk-in closet near the door to the unit (shown on the floor plan) was a locked maid's closet, unavailable for use by the renter. The unit and furniture is well designed. High marks to the couch that folds flat into a full-sized, surprisingly comfy bed, suitable for one large person. Sheets are provided. The true Queen bed in the unit was comfortable if you like firm beds. The "central" A/C was a single floor unit (visible in one picture) with high and low fan buttons & a warm-to-cool dial. Our A/C did not seem to blow faster on the high setting than the low. A provided small portable fan placed over the A/C unit helped to blow the cool air throughout the unit and make it comfortable, although somewhat noisy & a bit warmer than the building hall and lobby. The living room table is small (suitable for 2 people to eat on); 2 folding chairs are OK. A wood parquet floor was nice, but creaked a bit. The bath was fairly modern with large mirrors and space for toiletries. It needed an exhaust fan for steam after a shower. Body wash is provided in two dispensers, as is kleenex and plenty of TP. Towels were newish; 4 each of bath, hand, and washcloths were provided for a week. Shower water was hot and drained well. The galley kitchen was relatively roomy. It had a full dish washer, range/oven, microwave, and coffee maker. No toaster or toaster/oven is pictured, and none was provided, despite the landlord's assurance to the contrary in an e-mail before we booked. There are pots, a small teflon pan, cooking utensils, plastic mixing bowls, and service for 6, although some bowls & silverware were missing. A vigorous exhaust fan in the kitchen helped circulate air in the unit. The free wi-fi worked great, even with 2 computers. The TV was fine. Pay laundry in the bldg. was very nice. 24 hr. concierge/maintenance men were super helpful and responsive.

Our unit was on the 11th floor-very little traffic noise. Futon made a good extra bed for our 16 yr old daughter, other bed was a queen. Apt was clean, building staff friendly and helpful. Studio was about 500 SF, which is big by NY standards. Apt168 people did all that was promised. Only complaint was no toaster. AM/PM mini-mart right across the street. 3 blocks to subway at Penn Station (34th St)A,C,E line-not the best but OK to get around. Husband thought AC could be better, but temps were in the 90s.

This apartment was perfect!! Very clean. The owner was very accomodating. I would recommend this to anyone visiting NYC. Much better than a hotel and still very convenient to Times Square, Broadway, subway, etc. We stayed in a hotel last year and wanted an apartment experience this year. Will defintely stay here again!!

Two girlfriends and I recently stayed at Hudson Crossing apartments. The apartment was in a perfect location; within walking distance to Times Square, Fashion District, incredible night life & entertainment. It was really easy to catch a cab in front of the buidling; but if you wanted to stay in there is an am/pm store across the street from the building (try the Cuban hero - it's awesome), a delish Thai restaurant (the Mojitos are great), and an authentic Italian restaurant (I recommend the chicken parm)....all just across the street (there are several others, but these are the only we patroned in the neighborhood). The building has a secured entry, with a beautiful lobby, and a 24-hour doorman. The apartment we stayed in (on the 14th floor) was very clean, beautifully furnished, and had comfortable bedding; we had an awesome view of the New Yorker hotel & the Empire State Building from our window!!!! One of my girlfriends had to sleep on the futon, which was VERY comfy!!! Of course, this is a studio apartment - small, but has everything you need. The kitchen was perfect, granite counter tops, glassware, a few pots & pans provided, and coffee pot. They provided earplugs, but I found that the traffic noise didn't keep me from sleeping (it was barely audible from the 14th floor) and was almost soothing. The other tenants in the building were very quiet, extremely polite & helpful! I would definitely recommend this apartment to ANYONE!

The apartment was fantastic - with all the advantages of a hotel,(security, concierge) and so many others - a VIEW!, modern kitchen, refrigerator etc, plus access to a washing machine - especially handy when you're on the go) and none of the many disadvantages. The team was terrific, very helpful and responsive. While the aprt is not in the most happening of areas, is close enough to get where you need to be - either downtown or midtown/uptown - and the facilities and ther view make up for that anyway. Wonderful set-up that we will definitely want to use again. F&R

This is the first time I have used Airbnb. I was very skeptical and hesitant but I decided to give it ago. It was the best decision I made on my whole trip. The apartment was excellent in everyway. It had all that we needed, a clean bed to sleep, a clean bathroon and a clean kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more. It was also quite stylish and nicely furnished. The location was brilliant, it was so close to times square and the sub way. There were also many nice little resturants all with in a short walk. Finally Yukimark was excellent to deal with, he was easily contactable and answered all our questions. We had a brilliant time in New York and this apartment was part of it. Thank you so much Yuki!
