As a NY'er having some work done in my apartment in midtown, I needed a super-last-minute place to spend my weekend. I got an instant response from Martina, and within virtually 24 hours of my reservation, I had keys in hand. A pretty seamless introduction to my first travel experience with AirBnB.

The apartment was comfortable, relaxing and a joy to spend time in. A bright and airy space in a popular neighborhood full of restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, a theatre, and anything else one may need for weekend distraction -- including easy access to Manhattan. Total zen. If I didn't live a subway ride away, I'd probably go back for another visit.
