"Shared" was not part of my previous searches while on previous airbnb adventures. An impromptu trip into NYC left me short on options so I branched out. "Wow!!!" is all I can say about how my expectations were exceed by Victor. His communications prior to my stay were simple and helpful. The warm welcome and hospitality I received really made my stay great! I was nervous about a shared space vs. the private room I'd had in my previous airbnbs. I actually felt the accommodations to be MORE private than some past stays on private rooms! His apartment is a trendy space kept perfectly clean. The location is fantastic for enjoying NYC adventures. I WILL be staying again with Victor... and maybe even giving another shared space a try thanks to this positive experience. ;-)
