Wayne had hosted us during our NYC visit in October 2011. It was our first airbnb experience and even though we spent some time researching about the airbnb experience, purticularly staying at a shared accomodation, the neighbourhood, and the commute options before we took the decision, we were honestly feeling a bit uneasy about it. However, Wayne is such an awesome person that we felt comfortable as soon as we met him. He did all that he could do to make our stay hassle free. The subway and bus stations are located about 4 blocks away and it took us about 5 minutes to reach the stations by walk. The neighbourhood was pretty safe. We had returned back to our room after midnight on most of the days and we did not see or experience anything to make us feel unsafe. We visited NYC in October when it was pleasant, so we did not have to turn on the AC or heater. The room looked exactly the same as in the pictures. Wayne shares a full fledged Kitchen with his guests however, we did not make use of it.To sum it up, we enjoyed our stay at Wayne's and would love to return for our next trip. Highly Recommended!!!
