This was my first time using Airbnb so I had some initial trepidation about what the experience would be like. But David was such a great host, and the place was so clean and tidy that all my fears were quickly laid to rest. The apartment was exactly like the photos. He even provided a set of towels, which was a pleasant surprise for me since I forgot to pack mine. And despite the fact that we shared the apartment, it seemed as if I had the apartment all to myself most of the time. Even when he wasn't there it was very easy to communicate with him, and all my questions were answered promptly.

His place will be the first I'll seek the next time I'm back in NY!
