Sne's a wonderful host - he loves hosting so he has a pamphlet of tips all ready for you. He met us as we got to the apartment and got us settled in and gave us very clear instructions about the keys and how to get the tickets on Broadway, etc. Ask him for his opinion if you aren't sure and he'll share his experience living in NYC.
The room was clean and we were thankful for the heaters, water and space. Sne definitely wasn't intrusive as a host. We communicated over Airbnb and WhatsApp when I got there and he was very responsive.
On the last day, we left our luggage as agreed and came back later in the day as our flight was in the evening. He sent us off warmly and helped us head down with our luggages. We're very thankful for his hospitality, time, knowledge and help. We definitely felt welcome in NYC thanks to him.
