First Airbnb experience and it was fantastic. Great location (safe, quiet and near to trains/metro). Nice quiet room, with all you need. The place is absolutely clean and spotless. Carlos and his wife are lovely people, always helping when you need them. Summary: for the price you pay at Carlos place you definitely do never get any compareable room in a hostel or hotel here in New York (or even anywhere else). I am an experienced traveller, I know what I am talking absolut.
And Carlos: be sure I will be back!!
