For a true experience of what it's like to live like a New Yorker you must stay at Ron's apartment! This was my first Air BnB experience and when comparing prices between a local hotel and booking Ron's place, I'm so glad I took a chance on Air BnB. The location is perfect, set in a quiet street (Yes, quiet in the heart of NYC... I was surprised too!) in a safe and trendy suburb.

There is a subway stop at the end of the street, which is a saviour after a long day of walking and shopping. The wholefoods supermarket across the road is brilliant and you are within walking distance to some fantastic local restaurants and bars.

Ron was the perfect host. Communicating with me regularly right up until my arrival, he even posted me a set of keys well in advance as I wasn't due to arrive until midnight. After 30 hours of flying, it was nice to be able to arrive at the apartment and let myself in with no check-in procedure. Super easy!

The apartment itself was clean, with fresh linen and bedding. The internet is fast, the bed is comfy and my friend slept on the fold out couch which was also comfy. Ron checked in with me regularly to make sure everything was ok and was even a great source when asking for tips on local bars to drink at etc. The bottles of water and box of chocolates upon arrival were a nice touch too!

Ron, thanks for letting me enjoy your pad! I will definitely be booking with you again for my next NYC holiday.

Cheers,
