This was my first time with Airbnb and I must say that I was very satisfied with the overall experience. Martina and Sheldon's place was really comfortable and matched with our expectation. Everything was spotlessly clean and all the amenities were in the apartment, including a very powerful air conditioning system (which is an absolute must for summer time in NYC). We felt completely safe in Brooklyn. We were busy sightseeing most of the time so didn't get to talk to Sheldon much. But he sounded like a top notch guy. I'll highly recommend this place to everyone.
