I had a great experience staying in Gabriel's place. The space was very nice and I had my own private bathroom. I didn't meet him right away but he had a friend waiting for my arrival to hand me the keys to the appartment. He was kind enough to leave bread and eggs to make myself breakfast. I wasn't always out, and Gabriel was very nice in inviting me to join him for dinner (he loves to cook) or joining him and a friend to a nearby bar. He recommended some great places to eat and great places to check out like the Brooklyn botanic garden. I'd definitely stay again next time I go to NY. This was my first experience with Airbnb and a great one for sure.
