I hadn't been so overwhelmed lately by such hospitality and sheer generosity as Althea showered on us. I was in New York on holidays with my wife and four little children, which is a difficult combination to host, given the age limit of the kids4,3 , and 17 months. But she did so well from start to finish. I think the future of the Airbnb depends on hosts like Althea who make staying in private homes more worthwhile and exciting through that human touch in contrast with hotels. Also everything was so close by. Restaurants, train to manhattan, barber shop, the museum,etc. will definitely stay again
