This was my first experience with Airbnb and I am happy to say it surpassed my expectations. Our stay was incredibly pleasant. The apartment is perfectly located - with everything you could need within just a few blocks - as well as very comfortable and accomodating for large groups. It goes without saying the garden was an absolute treat! Everything we needed was provided, from towels, bathrobes & soap in the bathrooms to a fully equipped kitchen - it truly felt like staying in a home. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet, so resting was easy after a long day out sightseeing. Marea was prompt and polite in all of our correspondance, before and during our stay. I enjoyed her insider tips and sharing a glass of wine with her on arrival, and hope to see her on our next visit to NYC! Thank you for the great experience!
