Our first experience of using Airbnb has been excellent.
We had 8 nights staying at Stav's apartment and the description was accurate and fulfilling.
A big apartment, spacious and airy with huge windows looking out onto 6th avenue. It is 5 floors up and with this is surprisingly quiet in day and night (for New York). Everything Stav said was spot on. We were in a wonderful area of the city and easily able to get to all that New York could offer.
The living area, kitchen and sleeping areas were all exceptionally clean, we had 2 big and very clean bathrooms. The block the apt is in is well cared for and has 3 large elevators. We had use of a 'sky deck' a large open area on top of the block, 40 stories high with fabulous views.
Stav was on holiday from shortly after we arrived until our day of departure but was always available via his mobile. An excellent host, he made us feel very welcome
In all, highly recommended - and we would go back, the ultimate recommendation.
