Although we haven't extensively used airbnb in the past, we have to admit that this was a surprisingly great experience for us.

We arrived at Laurie's around 11.30pm and not only she wasn't bothered by the late time, she also spent the next hour and a half to explain and discuss with us all the things we could do in NY.

Her information was spot on and we never regretting following her recommendations. She has a great taste for theatrical plays and is very well informed with what is going on in the town.

The place itself is located in a lovely and safe street only 3 blocks from the subway station that can take you to Manhattan in no more than 20-25 minutes. Art is overflowing in the place and Laurie is happy to explain where everything comes from.

Having an uncle who has been an F1 champion as well as an autograph from Roger Federer is always a bonus!!!

Batman and Robin (her two cats) are very well behaved and add to the great experience.

Rooms (both bedrooms and common rooms) and bathrooms were very clean and tidy.

To sum up, Laurie and her lovely place contributed in having a lovely time in NY and also saved some money during the trip.

If we ever go back to NY we wouldn't look for another place to stay !!
