It was my first visit to NY and first experience with airbnb. It was great! Iulia was kind, helpful... the room superb (with a great view of Manhattan in the distance), the neighborhood safe, close to a bakery, several ethnic restaurants, a mini market, and the apartment just 3 blocks away from the subway that takes you directly to Times Square (20'). I hope I was a good guest so that Iulia accepts me when a I go to NY again :).
