Robin was quick to respond to our request and even from the first emails we exchanged she made us feel welcome. When we arrived at the apartment a set of keys was waiting for us in a combination lock next to the door. In the apartment she had left a bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate for us, which was truly very nice of her. We hadn't been there for ten minutes when her husband, Joe, came to greet us and advise us on the best places to eat around the neighborhood. During our stay, she often emailed us to let us know about interesting events that were happening in the area. All of their suggestions that we tried were spot on.
The apartment was exactly as it is on the photos we had seen. It was spacious, bright, comfortable and very clean. The wifi connection was great, the heating worked well (albeit a bit noisy!) and we had everything we needed to prepare breakfast and a quick meal.
This was our first experience with airbnb and it was 100% positive, thanks to Robin and Joe. We would gladly stay there again if we ever went back to New York.
