i am so greatful to airbnb for being so reliable, prompt and helpful.. after so many other trials with other web sites, it was so nice seeing not only the photos of the places (like some other sites share) but also the host's photo, his/her CV, and most important of all the comments and ratings of the people who have "actually" stayed there.. so i highly recommend airbnb.. when i chose the house and the host it took us only 2 days to finalize the whole procesure.. so, it was quick and and perfect..

as to the house, it was just on the right spot that we wanted... very accesable to everywhere, like 15 minutes downtown.. has several metro lines that connect you, and the metro station is literally 2 minutes to the house: you can actually see it! a big luxury in NY.. as for grocery there are two markets like few blocks from the house, and a post office too.. or you can always go to 59th and do your whole foods grocery! also so peaceful as a neigborhood. you woke up, literally with birds singing, and you are in harlem! unbelieavble..

the host? well he was much more than a host.. his slogan that he has written on the wall also proves that: "may those who come as guests leave as friends".. and true.. i can say that we became friends.. he is such a gentleman. so concerned and ready to help.. the house has everyhing that one can need: oven, microwave, fridge, coffe machine, toaster, kitchen utensils, iron, hair dryer, towels, clean sheets, washing machine, TV, wi-fi... even so, he was checking out on us, if we needed anything else? i feel lucky to have found matthew, through airbnb ... would definately stay there newt time..
