This was my first time using airbnb, I stayed here for 2 nights while visiting NYC. It is compact, but quite enough space for one person, and the price can't be beat!. The shower is actually quite large, which was great. Everything was sparkly clean when I arrived and there were clean bath and hand towels ready to use. The bed was also very, very comfy! No trouble getting to sleep. Even though it's early fall the weather is still quite warm and humid, so the window unit air conditioner was a life saver! Cherry was very helpful with the check-in instructions and her and Steven are quite friendly to communicate with. Free street parking right outside the house was a big plus. Easy to get to Manhattan using transit/LIRR, but definitely still take a walk around the area. I felt totally safe, even at night. One thing to note if you are booking is that there some city noise in the mornings (trucks backing up a lot, buses etc) but I may have just noticed this more being from a small town. Other than that it is nice and quiet and totally private. Overall, this is an excellent value for a single person and I would absolutely stay here again!
