This was my first visit to New York and I could not have been more fortunate than to have a wonderful host like Omri. The accommodations were comfortable and clean and the location was splendid....so close to the subway station. Omri was thoughtful and considerate in sharing information about the area, things to do and he even had some stuff printed on several pages of things to know.. There was a lot of thought and consideration that he showed as a host. What a pleasant surprise to see extra umbrellas and sunglasses in the room. The bathroom was equipped better than any hotel - a variety of toiletries. There was a great coffee shop nearby and wonderful choices of eateries within walking distance.

I was so touched when I came in late one night to find the table lamp in my room was turned on so I didn't have to stumble around in the dark and lovely flowers in a vase on the window sill. The space had so much natural light pouring which made the arrangement even more pleasant.His place was decorated with wonderful photographs that he took which was a wonderful personal touch and helped me appreciate his interests. He was so easy to speak with and I could tell that he would be a wonderful person to get to know better.

It is unexpected thoughtfulness like this that had me thinking about encouraging others to look into using AirBnB. It also helped me to appreciate that there are better options than a hotel room. I am glad my son told me to check out AirBnB. It was worth it to me to have this type of alternative.
