This was our first time using AirBnB. Not only was it exactly what we needed for our trip, but it was exactly what we needed as first timers using the service. Ilana went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable--she was super fast in her replies; she had no problem with our late arrival; and she had a wonderful welcome packet waiting for us when we arrived. She went above and beyond what is expected of a host--taking time to talk with us about the city and her neighborhood when we asked her to (we are considering moving there) and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The space was immaculately clean, comfy and filled with light, and because it was a separate space we could come and go as we pleased. And it was easy to get around the city, we seemed to reach everything in about 15 minutes. If you are looking for warmth, value, beauty, privacy, and convenience, this is the place for you!
