Daniel, our host, was great through the whole reservation and arrival process. Text messages and emails were responded to within minutes. We were a party of 6 so we had lots of questions about the house, beds and bedrooms, and we were not from the area so we wanted to find about about the best way to get around, the proximity of public transportation, and parking our car. Daniel phoned us to confirm when we would be getting to the house so that he could be there when we arrived. Some of us arrived by car, and some arrived by plane/taxi. Daniel welcomed us to the house and provided all the information we needed and told us to call him if we had any questions or needed any help during our stay. The house was absolutely spotless and is one of the nicest AirBNB homes that we have stayed at. There is a beautiful view of Manhattan from the deck off of the master bedroom, and on the opposite end of the home, off the living room, there is another deck that looks out over the neighborhood. The house is as spacious as it looks in the pictures. Another nice perk was being able to park my car in the garage below the unit. The neighborhood is felt very safe and the neighbors were very friendly. The house is within a few steps of the light rail which provides very easy easy to NY City. Liberty Science Center is within a 20 minute walk, and shuttle boats to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are about a 45 minute walk away. We would not hesitate to stay at this home if we plan a trip like this again to visit the NY City area.
