The location of this Airbnb is amazing! It is a very safe area and it is two blocks away from the subway station (5 min walk at most) that can take you anywhere in the city. Getting to Gerald’s place was super easy as I flew into JFK I thought it was going to be difficult. Once I arrived at the apartment I was welcomed with some nice salsa music playing softly in the background. The bedroom is spacious with enough room to store your clothes. The bed is perfect as well. It was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Especially the pillows. Everything in the apartment is clean and Gerald is also a very clean person which is great.
I met Gerald shortly after I arrived at the apartment. He was very kind and generous and left some goodies for me in the room since it was Halloween. He is a very easy going guy and him and I spent hours talking all things music, food and traveling. He is very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about NYC. This was my first solo trip and he definitely made me feel comfortable and confident in traveling solo again! I checked out very very early in the morning (3 AM) and I asked Gerald if it was safe to walk at that time to the subway station as I was a bit concerned and he assured me it was safe. He was so kind as to walk me to the subway station! Again, another reason why I think Gerald is a great host and a great human being for his act of kindness. I would NOT hesitate to book this place again. If you are a woman solo traveler and afraid of running into danger I assure you that you are safe in Gerald’s place!
