Sherry has set the bar high for our first Airbnb stay. The apartment was very clean and beautiful with a new couch, nice pieces of art and lots of space. The location was perfect, too, with a train stop, McDonald's and other restaurants up the street.
There were a few very small things I'm going to nitpick at: the stopper in the shower didn't plug up water so you can't take a bath and the floors and beds creak so if you have small kids, it might wake them up. These things don't take away from what a great stay we had though.
Overall, I rate the experience a 10/10. I was very nervous using Airbnb for the first time and was so pleasantly surprised how nice it was, especially in New York. I'd choose this over a hotel room any day!
