Samir's loft in the East Village is just beautiful. It's affordable and spacious, extremely stylish, and it's packed with thoughtful conveniences. There's an iPhone charger and a fantastic coffee machine. Overall, I have to say that staying with Samir was easy and well worth the price -- way better than most tiny cramped hotel rooms you'll get in the city.
There was a slight hiccup when I arrived -- I misunderstood the check-in policy and thought I could check in at 11am instead of 3pm. My fault, not Samir's, but when I called him, he went out of his way to try to get the apartment ready for me. This showed that he cared, that he was easily accessible by phone/text, and that he wanted to make sure my experience was comfortable. I was very impressed by the way he handled it.
Overall, I have no issues with the stay whatsoever. This has to be one of my most enjoyable Airbnb stays ever.
