After a stressful day which involved my flight out of La Guardia being cancelled after a 2 hour delay (thanks american airlines :p) at 9 pm on a Friday night and no hotel rooms nearby, I frantically signed up on this website and got in touch with Femida who graciously allowed me to stay at her place at the last minute! It was only a 10 minute ride to her place and only cost me around $11 to get there. When I arrived, she immediately took me in and got me water and asked if I had any dinner or if I needed to get to the grocery store nearby! It was such a welcome relief to receive such generosity and hospitality after dealing with a horrible airline company a few hours before that I was so overjoyed. The room was as advertised with AC and the bathroom was well kept. She also provided a towel and toiletries if you needed them.
I know this is my first time using Air Bnb but I would definitely come back to her if I was ever back in the city. I know NYC isn't known for being generous but it's great knowing that there are people there who are the exception to the rule which includes Femida. The only regret I had was that I couldn't stay at her place longer and gotten to know her better since I had to leave early in the morning. I highly recommend her if you ever get a last minute flight cancellation at the airport or even going sightseeing in the city. Thank you again Femida for rescuing me and if I could, I would give her 10+ stars for her hospitality!
