This was my very first AirBnB experience and I'm so happy to report that it was a great one! All communication w/ Chris was clear and responsive, plus his place met all expectations (see preceding reviews) and then some. The studio is clean, conveniently located, simply decorated, and very comfy. In fact, I have serious mattress envy after 4 nights of fitful sleep on that great bed! Fresh breakfast items on arrival were a nice touch, too. All in all, it's hard to imagine a better deal in the LES/Bowery. Looking forward to returning some day.
