What can I say about this place, my stay here was great! I spent about 3 months here while doing an internship in the city. The host ===== Jody is a warm and very welcoming host. She made my stay, as well as my first Airbnb experience a great one. She was always within reach and returned messages within a reasonable amount of time. She made sure to check in every once in awhile too to ensure that my stay was going well. I have absolutely no criticisms about her. The place ===== Overall - I don't actually have anything really new to add here comparatively to other guests. My experience here was basically the same as everyone else's. That being the case - I will add my observations about some of the aspects that have been brought up. * Location - Jody's place is in a GREAT spot and within easy walking distance to the 2,5 Church Ave stop making it super easy and reasonably quick to get into the city, roughly 20-25 minutes during the weekdays baring delays and about 30-35 minutes on the weekends; the extra travel time on the weekends was due to construction which should hopefully be done by the time you arrive. The apartment is very close to a busy area that has at least 3 supermarkets, as well as a good number of restaurants. The restaurant selection is mostly Jamaican related fare but there are some typical American standards like Subway, Burger King and Ihop within walking distance. * Noise - Yes there is noise. It can get pretty loud when the kids upstairs are running around. That being said - unless you plan on spending an inordinate amount of time within the apartment, I wouldn't really consider this a negative. You're in New York! Go out and explore! As to the evening hours, Jody's kids do go to bed at a reasonable time so you should be able to still get a good night's sleep. * Cooking - overall no problems here, though I should point out that, if you decide to cook and you have plans later, I would give yourself a little bit of extra padding time to ensure you can make it to whatever it is you're doing. The electric cooktop works perfectly fine - it just takes awhile to heat up to a good temperature. * Cleanliness - While the people that stayed before me could have done a little better to clean up after themselves, overall the place was very clean when I arrived. * Pests - Since no one has brought this up and also because unfortunately, New York is kinda known to have certain common pests, I thought it’d be good to address this. I’m very happy to report that I didn’t have any real issues with pests! Aside from a spider or 2 as well as the odd fly that somehow wandered in my stay was otherwise pleasant in this regard. That being said...
