This was our first AirBnb experience and it was good overall. Biren and his mom were great. They welcomed us, gave us directions where and how to go, and were very hospitable. I would give them a 5 star. However, due to new york and Airbnb laws there were no locks on the room and so it wasnt as private as we wanted. Also had to share bathroom with others in the next rooms. For us, hotel would have been a better option. The cost seemed to be better first on Airbnb but after adding surcharges, taxes, and fees it wasnt any cheaper. Well, if you are single, Airbnb is indeed a great option. For couples you may want to give it a little more thoughts. Just my opinion.
