This was my first airbnb experience, and I was a little bit nervous about what it would be like. However, staying with Alicia, who was such a warm and welcoming host, allayed my concerns. The listing was exactly as it was described - it was a stone's throw away from the subway (the #1 train takes you to major destinations, including Times Square), the room was clean and comfortable (with fast WiFi!), and the view of the city from the room was stellar. I highly recommend staying at Alicia's the next time you're in NYC.
