This was my first time ever booking on Airbnb and I'm super glad I got Antonio. He's super friendly and very helpful. I needed a place to stay at for a school field trip and I wanted to take my grandma to see the city for the first time too - two birds one stone. The only issue was my school trip/tour took over most of the day and I almost had no time to take my grandma out. But thank goodness my host was super friendly and informative and bilingual because he did me a HUGE favor by taking my grandma to see the city (like the Brooklyn bridge and Statue of Liberty). When it comes to New York Antonio knows how to manage it, he will tell you where you need to go and what places are the best to eat and he will most likely if not definitely be with you to help you along the way. For example, he came to eat breakfast with me and my grandma (in a real fantastic cheap bagel place). Also, he helped calculate how much I would spend on riding the subway and which metro and would be best for my school trip/tour (because we would be traveling a lot) and thank goodness he did because I saved a lot more money than my classmates did (they paid per ride). I would highly recommend staying at Antonio's because his apartment is super clean and very well decorated! He's an excellent host and is very concerned about how comfortable his guests are. If I ever go to New York City again I would definitely make sure to look up if his place is available.
