This stay was my boyfriend and I's first experience with Airbnb and a very pleasant and memorable one.

The Apartment: This apartment is situated in what I can't imagine being a better location - central to subways, nightlife, many parks, and tons of great eateries, but without much noise at night (by NY standards) and on a higher floor of the building.

It is a studio, but because of how the Host has furnished it, it seems more spacious in real life than it may in photos and was more than enough space for two people. It was clean, tidy, and we felt totally safe in the building.

There was a great sofa and wardrobe available for our use in the apt that was not pictured. Beautiful wood floor, lots of natural sunlight, comfortable and firm bed, shower with awesome water pressure. The bathroom has bulbs around the mirror that cast a gorgeous, flattering light that I was more than happy to be misled by - most women should appreciate this while getting ready :)

The Host: From when I first initiated contact with Roxanne to inquire about the space, and up until we exited the flat, I found her to be prompt in responding (even while traveling overseas), informative, helpful, gracious, and reliable. She answered my many questions beforehand, was accommodating to our early flight arrival, and really wanted us to have a fun and comfortable stay in her home.

She was a pleasure to correspond with and we're very happy we chose her home for our stay in the West Village.
