This was our first time using air bnb and it was fantastic. The place was exactly as described and in a really cool area. As novices, it was a particularly good choice because a) Lane was really helpful and b) there was a doorman which is reassuring when you don't know what to expect. We had stayed in a very swish, trendy hotel in Manhattan a few weeks earlier and i can honestly say this was a much more enjoyable experience.

Plus, the apartment is immaculate and really sunny.
