What a Fantastic experience staying in the apartment.
My 'Invited Guest' is a friend of forty-six years. This was her first experience of AirBnB and a first-class introduction it was.
The fridge had more than enough (for us), not just for Day One Breakfast, but the whole six days of our visit, bread, juice, bottles of water, a dozen eggs, jam (jelly), butter.
We are Huge tea drinkers (brought our own teabags from Britain and Ireland so we drink tea with milk) we did have to get extra milk but that was no hardship, you'd have to do that at home.
Especially when you have a kettle you can use at anytime and a side by side refrigerator that can accommodate a week of groceries.
The apartment is stocked with everything you could possibly need to meet your requirements. Whether you are a family with children; a single person; couple(s) or lifelong friends, like ourselves.
There were even covers to put in electrical sockets to protect children.
If you want to cook or even bake all the equipment you need is to hand.
The beds are clean and comfortable AND a never ending, so it seemed, supply of hot water for a great shower or a bath.
If we had an queries we could go to Mr G or Chris, husband and son of Gina.
The most welcoming, kind and thoughtful people ever. Mr G has told us on our next visit he'll draw us up an itinerary!
New York City is a commute away, as is downtown Brooklyn.
Again No Hardship.
Metro card a brilliant purchase and can be used on buses and subway (underground).
Especially if you've ever lived in a city and had to commute, if you haven't and want to walk out the door into the hustle and bustle (and pay the prices) then their home is not for you.
But after the assault on your senses the City envelopes you with, returning to Gina's, the kettle (or the coffee maker) and the crickets (yep, you can hear crickets in the garden) is priceless.
As my friend said upon our arrival
"A Home from Home",
and every time we returned after a hectic day and night on the NY tourist trail.
New York is definitely an experience Gina and her Family were a part of that experience.
Their kindness shone through and will forever remain with us.
