This was our first experience with AirBnB and it was fantastic. We were looking for a place to stay in NYC with a "neighborhood feel" and Dirk's place fit the bill perfectly. The Upper West side is a great place and the proximity to the subway made everything perfectly accessible. My kids (ages 14, 11, 8) all loved were able to spread out and not be on top of each other like most trips staying in a hotel. The garden space was a perfect cherry on top of the location.
