I'm a Toronto local and recently moved to Manhattan for work. When visiting home, I tend to split my time between work, family friends, and errands - all packed in a panic filled week or sometimes less. I was looking for a space that is:
1) centralized / convenient
2) roomy and comfortable
3) feels like home
Brent's place did that. I felt like I'm home.
I was initially hesitant to book AirBnB because I've always just gotten used to travelling for business and going straight to a hotel. Admittedly, I also wasn't very trusting of the BnB system. But this time I was travelling for both business and pleasure! Everything had to be just perfect.
Thanks to Brent - it was a perfect experience. He eased me in with a thorough walk through, was responsive to thoughts and inquiry, and simply a lovely host. His place was the perfect size, huge balcony (where smoking is permitted), great view of the city, comfy bed, waterfall shower, great kitchen, and a nice desk area for me to work (with a sweet Game of Thrones book that I enjoyed reading between work emails).
Thank you again for giving me an awesome first experience!!!
