We are a couple from Berlin and stayed with Swann for 8 days. To be honest: We were not sure how it would be to share the appartment with the owner. The outcome was much more than just ok! The place has an extraordinary c&q record (clean & quiet). The mattress very comfortable, the bathroom: spotless. The place is big enough for everybody to work on his or her privacy. We felt at home straight away. You can trust on Swann's recommendation concerning museums and directions how to get there. We made it to Manhattan and Brooklyn late at night (going there and coming home) with train connections better than our sufficient system at home. Overall: We were sad to leave. If airbnb would be the Super Bowl, Swann would qualify for the ring.
