This was our first airbnb experience and it was perfect! Chikie is an amazing host, super friendly, very helpful and accommodating. We stayed with chikie for 12 days and we felt at home. The apartment and the room itself is clean, spacious and has everything you need. The room looks exactly like the pictures (minus the wooden cube shelf) which is replaced with a computer desk. Its the perfect spot to stay, you have the laundry mat, deli, coffee and eating places right outside. Its a easy 5-10 minute walk to the subway train which takes you to time square and you'll also find a grocery/super market and pharmacy just by the sub way also. The road is busy morning and night, its very lively which we personally love and don't mind. We were out exploring new york most of the time but when we needed help or information we could always contact chikie and he would respond within minutes. He also took us around the neighbour hood on the first night of our stay. The neighbourhood is very safe and have a great mix of people. We loved our stay here, thank you chikie!
