ParticipantWas not through craigslist. Took me awhile to find it, but it was almost exactly two years ago, through vacationrentals.com. Directly with the owner, a woman named Gina.

ParticipantI don’t recall the price or the terms, other than I picked up the keys at the corner grocery store, and had to pay cash there for my stay before i got the keys. I remember I mailed a check for the deposit, which was never cashed and returned to me a few days after I checked out. I don’t think it was professionally managed then. I’m pretty sure I dealt directly with the woman that owned the place.

ParticipantThis is not a scam. I know this because I stayed in that same unit a couple years ago. Owned by a nice girl who lives in the unit when it’s not rented, and then moves to a friend or relatives house when she has somewhere to stay there. Great location, in the heart of the village. Absolutely HUGE by manhattan standards. Upstairs from a pizza joint. (I know, what are the odds of that in the village.) And across the street from a great little guitar shop. Block away from the subway. Gets a little noisy when they come to pick up the trash in the morning. The kitchen is tiny, more of a hallway, and the kitchen sink is right outside the bathroom door. But I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. It was clean enough, well equipped, had everything I needed. But remember, it is someone else’s home. It is not like a hotel. Its not sterilized (or even pretend sterilized) between guests.

Participant[quote=martink110]Well myth wise – time will tell… The polictics part was in response to other posts blaming Bush or the left or right. Why do you believe the US is in Afghanistan?(honest question)[/quote]
Originally because the Taliban gave safe harbour to AQ. Made some sense. I don’t really remember exactly when the Taliban fell and fled. But since then, not so much. Much like I thought about the folly in Iraq, there is no such thing as victory in Afghanistan.
