This was my first time using Airbnb..and I have to say that it was a very pleasant experience. I couldn't have had a nicer, sweeter more welcoming host. Irena was a phenomenal host with the desire to ensure our stay was as comfortable at all. She made every effort to ensure our stay was as comfortable as could be..to the extent that she allowed us to leave our luggage in the apartment before and after our stay so that we wouldn't have to lug hem around before checking in and after checking out. The apartment is very well situated...super close to public transportation, Central Park and many museums. The room was very cozy with a private bathroom. And it was very peaceful...we didn't hear any sirens, horns or anything. It was a wonderful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan.
