The three main things I look for when reserving an air bnb are: hospitality, cleanliness, and communication with the host. I have to say Vanessa and Gil really went above and beyond their efforts to make a good impression and make sure my girlfriend and I were well accommodated for. It was so exciting to see each room filled with little thoughtful gestures (leaving travel tip brochures, leaving the air conditioner on before we got to the building so it stays cool, etc.) that my gf and I appreciated very much. It was also kept very clean and I did not have any encounters with a bug so that was a plus! The host was very communicative and was available whenever I needed to ask questions. They were very kind and warm in the way they communicated and I really hope other air bnb hosts will model after Vanessa & Gils’ attitude and service toward their clients. Furthermore, I really recommend this place because location wise, it’s a 10-15 minute drive to pier 13 (awesome view of NYC) and liberty state park. Overall, flawless service and I highly recommend.
