This was my first time staying in a private airbnb room in a shared apartment so i was very nervous about who i'd be living with. Wow, i really hit the airbnb jackpot with the host Isabel! She communicated really well throughout and was super warm and welcoming every day of my stay. Our conversations were great and left me with some good food for thought. Her apartment was super cute and very clean! The room was large and provided more than you find in hotel rooms sometimes (kuerig coffee maker, smart tv, microwave and fridge). The area was also very conveniently located by subways and buses and walking distance to the 167th and 161st street commercial shopping areas. And best of all, it was affordable. Those of you visiting NYC, lose your negative bronx stereotypes and book this spot. You won't regret it!
