Gerardo’s Airbnb was exactly as advertised. My stay was very pleasant and although the apartment itself is shared, each room is lockable and there is a high level of privacy (I only saw another guest once during my 1 week stay). The room itself was modern, spacious, very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was also fully equipped and there were even nice little extras like shampoo and body wash and a blow dryer in the bathrooms. The only downside is that the apartment is 40 min or so away from mid-town via the subway BUT this is not an issue for people like myself who prefer staying in quieter areas away from the tourists. Chauncey St and Rockaway Ave stations themselves are also close by and provide direct services to Manhattan via the J, C and A trains. Gerardo was also contactable throughout my stay and always went out of his way to answer questions or accommodate additional requests such as a late check-out or extra guests. I’ll definitely be back!
