We are a young couple who was looking for a decent place to stay for one week of exploring. Michelle’s 108 year old Brownstone was perfect because it was away from noise that the city will bring, and is just around 2-4 blocks from the Subway station, which is a crucial mode of transportation in NY. You can be in Manhattan in 30 minutes that way, no problem.
The host had simple straightforward rules because she has children. Be cleanly, quiet and courteous of other guests in other Airbnb rooms. We could do that because she gracefully shared her beautiful space, which is more than enough to be in!
Sometimes we had electric problems because of how old the building was of course. It would go off for a few minutes when it’s overwhelmed with appliances turned on. This was not an inconvenience for us because Michelle answered our message instantaneously and we could hear her running downstairs to turn the breaker on again, and then back up to us to ask us if there was any other issues. Holy cow! She was so hospitable beyond my expectations.
Thank you for sharing your home again! If we ever find we will be back, it will be with you no doubt.
