This was my first time using Airbnb and therefore I wasn't sure what to expect. Esther was the perfect host, and due to her extraordinary care and consideration, my first impression of Airbnb was absolutely wonderful. Your very first impression of Esther is that she is a very kind person. Our flight into New York was delayed due to weather, and Esther was willing to stay up until midnight to make sure we got in safely. Her home is immaculate and is many times cleaner than any hotel. The location is perfect for those willing to use the metro to get around - the station is less than a minute from the front door, but far enough away that you don't hear it. She had suggestions ready for what to do and see in New York. Esther just did everything right and I cannot thank her enough for making our stay so pleasant and easy. When we return to New York Esther will be our first thought for accommodations.
