Our 10-day stay at Bob's and Glady's Place was over the top!
Bob warmly welcomed us and showed us to the apartment, which is perfect for 3 people and located 500m from the 46th st. metro station in a quiet and safe neighborhood, 15min ride to Time Square. The apartment description on Airbnb corresponds to realty. Additionally, fridge and kitchen had been already supplied with chocolate, milk, orange juice, water and all sort of savoury and sweet american-made snacks, which alone gave us immediately the distinct and warm welcome-to-USA feeling.
Gladys and Bob have been perfect hosts. Gladys is incredibly nice and very thoughtful: she took us on a tour of Astoria, recommended us events, restaurants and prepared us more than once a proper large american breakfast ( pancakes with acorn syrup and strawberries, scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes and pepper etc.). I can still recall the pleasant smell coming up to the apartment early in the morning and Gladys knocking at our door to bring us breakfast... it was just like home! They even made us good-bye gifts!
I can doubtlessly state that Bob's and Glady's generous hospitality has contributed to the success of our holiday. If I went to NY again in the future, I would choose again this apartment and these people! Therefore, I really recommend Gladys' and Bob's place to anyone who's planning to go on a trip to NY!
