This was my first Airbnb experience and it was everything I could have wanted. I was traveling solo on family business and simply needed a quiet place to crash in this exact neighborhood, while spent a few days working things out.
Susan was a perfect host and her apartment and the room provided worked perfectly. The room, as pictured, had TV, treadmill, closet, bed, and an eclectically stocked bookshelf I would have been happy to explore for several days. Susan was friendly, available, and helpful without hovering, as were her 2 cats. I had a few questions about eating locally, and about best routes to take to various places. Susan had great recommendations, and printed out maps and directions for me that were just what I needed. Based on this single experience, I would absolutely recommend Airbnb in general, and Susan's accommodation in particular.
