I was a bit nervous to book a private room in a shared Airbnb, but I would never hesitate to book again. Chad was extremely communicative and adaptive, with timely message responses as well as providing much information before I even needed to ask. Check-in was simple and easy to follow and is completely accurate to the online description. Though I had shared an apartment with Chad for almost a week, it almost felt like it was a whole private apartment. He was extremely respectful about personal space and privacy but was always there to assist when it came to the apartment itself, or even just about New York in general for advice and recommendations. The value is great for what you get, between Chad as a host as well as the apartment itself and its location. I would not hesitate to rebook with Chad.
