So this was our first time staying at an AirBnB in NYC, so we were a little nervous about what the experience would be like. After having stayed at Matt'x spacious, comfortable, quiet home, all I can say now is that we are ruined for hotels, and that the only reason we would not stay at Matt's place again is if it were not available. 😀 Besides the fact that staying at this location resulted in our most relaxing NYC visit ever (we go every year) Matt is a great guy, friendly and very helpful, and responds to any questions in a timely manner. We both really liked him, and can't say enough about him. And the location is ideal: subway is a 2 minute walk away, there's a grocery within walking distance, and the backyard was so peaceful for breakfast in the morning. It really felt like our home away from home, and we look forward to staying there again (and again). 😀
