This was our first AirBnB and New York experience, and, thanks to Kumar, we really enjoyed both! Prior to our arrival, Kumar responded quickly on our emails, and provided us with handy tips about getting around in New York. Kumar was out of town during our stay, so unfortunately we didn't meet each other in person, but he kept in touch with us all the time. Whenever we had questions, we could always call or email him. The apartment was exactly like the pictures at the AirBnB homepage (clean and comfortable) and not far away from the metro (5 minutes walk). We really enjoyed our stay, and we would definitely recommend Kumar as a host.
