This was our family's first experience with AirBnB, and have to say it worked out great for us. Charles and Teresa are great hosts and love renting their house. Charles went above and beyond with helping us find parking, subway, and places to eat. Their house is well furnished with everything we needed, including food. There was lots of space for our family of 6, and the two bathrooms makes it more convenient. The apartment is a full 3rd floor, easy to access and very private.
The location worked well for us, not far from a train station to Manhattan, and it's also nearby the Liberty Park where we got the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Another day we took the train into Manhattan, which really doesn't take very long.
I didn't expect our host to provide as much help with everything but Charles is an expert in hosting and making our trip worthwhile.
