We spent a few days in NYC for a graduation occasion, and we had no regret choosing O'Dell as our host in his Brooklyn home. This is the first time I used airbnb, and I was a little anxious about it. But O'Dell made sure we felt at home by making himself available just a phone call away. He also let us check in early and check out late, compared to typical "hotel rules". The house belongs to O'Dell's aunt and is kept clean inside out. A 5-minute walk, and we are already inside the Euclid subway station, waiting to hop on the 'A' train toward Manhattan.

On the night before we left, we finally met each other and had a nice chat. What impressed me the most is the tender loving way O'Dell takes care of his aging aunt and her house. His genuine attitude toward his family spills over to the guests who have had the privilege to meet him. A true gentleman!
