This was my first time using airbnb, and my hosts Gus and Holly made it an absolute delight. Despite a minor drama with my cell phone not working when I arrived in the US, I made to their apartment with no hassles. Gus and Holly make a huge effort to make guests feel at home, and are totally cool with having a chat, giving advice about places to go in the neighbourhood, but also fine with letting you just trek in and out as needed. The bed is amazingly comfy and the cats are adorable :) The list of places to eat, drink, get coffee and run errands were also incredibly helpful.

I highly recommend staying with Gus and Holly for anyone visiting NYC - I can't wait to visit again.
