My first airbnb experience and it was very positive. Kathleen is friendly and relaxed and the house is in an excellent location. The room is on the top floor of a lovely large brownstone. It is perfect for a single traveller like me - but might be a little cramped for two people with luggage. The bed was comfortable and the room seemed to be clean. It had functioning air-con and WIFI. The room also has a small fridge, kettle and microwave which I didn't really use. What you can't see in the photos is that the bathroom has a shower which takes a while to warm up, but is fine. I think Kathleen rents one other room, but I didn't see the other guest and my room felt quite private. I was in NYC for a wedding and some other guests had quite bad airbnb experiences despite good reviews (possibly from friends of hipster hosts?). Mine was certainly one of the best experiences. Recommended.
