We stayed at Renèe's place for 5 nights and were completely satisfied. It was our first Airbnb experience and it was great. The apartment is located at a quite street surrounded by other brownstones. Yet the subway is only like 4 blocks away. For the three of us the apartment had the right size, the kitchen came in handy for fixing breakfast etc.
Renèe is a very caring host. Always available either in person or by text and phone, making sure her guests are well taken care off. There is probably no way you can not get along with her.
I recommend Renèe's apartment to everybody who is looking for a nice place to stay with a great host and doesn't mind the commute to Manhattan and back (which isn't a big deal).
