Our host, Alberto, really made us feel at home from beginning to end, with great attention to detail. The place was impeccably clean and neat. Whenever we asked for anything during our stay, Alberto quickly responded -- including leading us to his umbrella which we needed on a very soggy night.

The apartment itself is spacious for a studio/bachelor and is located in a GREAT neighborhood with many different restaurants and dining options just a short walk away. It is also conveniently located within a five minute walk of two subway stations. And Central Park is a five-minute walk west.

Overall, we were very satisfied with our first airbnb experience and will surely use the service again. We would not hesitate to stay in Alberto's place again and highly recommend it to anyone else looking for an affordable, alternative place to stay while in Manhattan.

Thank you Alberto and thank you airbnb!

Cheers, Paul & Tim, Toronto, Canada
