Had an absolutely lovely stay at Eduardo’s place!
They were really welcoming and accommodating when we arrived and throughout our stay until we left, making everything as easy as possible for us. Everything was spotless upon our arrival and the whole place stayed that way the entire stay. While not the most centrally located, it was an easy and predictable 30-40 minute commute into the city which never felt too long, even at night, and the nearest subway a less than 5 min walk away.
The bed was very comfortable and spacious, and the room cosy and exactly what you want after a long day in the city, with a big TV, heater, air conditioner, and plenty of closet and floor space. The bathroom was also great with a nice shower, and we never had to wait for our turn to use it. There were coffee, tea, and snacks readily available wherever we liked, much welcomed at the start of the day.
My boyfriend and I stayed for 5 nights, we didn’t really need any help during our stay but felt very sure that if we did or if there was any issue, Eduardo would on it right away. He also replied very quickly whenever we messaged, and I never felt like a bother when doing so.
We were left to ourselves whenever we needed/wanted to be, and when we we did bump into Eduardo or his husband it was always a pleasure. It was the perfect base for exploring the city, coming back to for a rest or an outfit change before going back out again, and if we ever needed a lie-in or slow morning we felt very comfortable doing so also.
We also really enjoyed the local area, has plenty of delis, shops, and some really great bars and nightlife too. It had a real life to it, the kind you wouldn’t get to experience if staying at a hotel, and you can get a sense of what life in New York is like. It felt safe and well populated, with a lot worth exploring and seeing nearby.
And, cost-wise, the stay was very well priced and felt like a bargain. It was worth every penny, and has plenty of amenities in the apartment and locally that can help you live cheaply during your stay.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend it and definitely would stay there again! Finding a great and affordable New York place on Airbnb can be so difficult, so I say finish your searching and stay here, you’ve found it!
