My first Airbnb stay and it was great. Devi is a very nice host and the room is indeed very cozy and clean. His dog barks a little when she hears people coming in and this is her way of greeting. I played the piano and the dog came down sitting with me, very sweet. The neighborhood is quite and beautiful, subway to Manhattan is easy too. There are a few Chinese and other Asian restaurants on 5th, 6th, and 7th Avenue which are not bad. The stay was actually more pleasant than my first week in NY in a 5-star hotel, in many aspects. If you are looking for temporary lodging far from noise, book this one.
