Situated in safe, calm neighbourhood, a short five-minutes’ walk to the always-busy Roosevelt avenue, Elmhurst Hospital, two train stations with access to the main Manhattan-Queens lines and at close distance of Jackson Heights, Carlos and Yvette host one the most appealing Airbnb places in the city of New York.
The house is a centenarian East Coast-style maisonette. Don’t be fooled by its age, however. The house is maintained in absolute astonishing condition while retaining all its charm. The ground and topmost floors are part of the Airbnb and have plenty of rooms, while Carlos and Yvette live in the middle one. Each bedroom has its own lock and key. When weather permits, the staircase in the entrance to the porch is a fantastic location to enjoy some reading, especially in the evening before dawn.
Rooms and common areas are sparkling clean and maintained regularly in such state by Yvette. The bed is really cosy, and the wardrobes have plenty of space for clothing. The kitchen has all kind of crockery, cutlery and what-nots for any cooking, including a table. But what really stands out in this place is the kindness and closeness of its hosts: From giving you a very useful tour around the house upon arrival, to details like spraying the room with nice fragrances, they do care about their guests in a genuine effort to make you feel like at home. They reply fast if you need something and are always happy to help you feel cosy in the room. I am extremely happy with my experience there, and will recommend it to anybody planning to stay one or two weeks in the city that never sleeps.
