This is the first time I used Airbnb to find a place to stay in a foreign city/country, and I should say that it was a totally positive experience.

The room looked exactly like on the photo. Everything is very neat, cliean and perfect for a single traveller.

Very convenient location. The subway is just around the corner. It took about 20 minutes to Manhatten and about 40 minutes to JFK Airport. If you get to know the subways system before arrival, it will save you $60 on the cab ride from the airport.

The house itself is located on a quiet street, but just a block away, there's a pretty busy road with many diners, little shops, convenient stores and inexpensive restaurants. So, you'll never have problem of finding food or something to do.

The room is on the 3rd floor, with a restroom/shower and the kitchen across the hall. Everything is very clean. There was some food in the fridge that I was kindly offered to take.

I was given my own key, and I could come and leave at any time I wanted. The house is pretty large, and there were other guests staying there, but I hardly ever met anyone.

Everything was so relaxed and homelike, that I contantly had a feeling that I am staying at some of my relatives, who gave me the keys and left for vacation.

I would definitelly recommend Cary and Sandra's place. They are great hosts and do a good job running the place in the way everybody's happy with staying at their house.
