It was my first time travelling with Airbnb and Mario was a very friendly and helpful host. In the first mail-contact he gave me all important informations for travelling from the airport to his home. Although he still had previous guest in the house we were allowed to assume our luggage even before the official arrival time. He welcomed us warmly and took us for a walk showing the surrounding, shoppings and restaurants. The room was prepared as shown on the photo, all was clean and comfortable. The house ist old and the rest of the rooms are dark as they were built at that time, but I like to stay in an authantic place. From the window you look at other buildings but just in a 5 minute walk you're at the promenade with a great view on the skyline of Manhattan. If I'll be back in NY I would stay again at Mario's home.
