We loved our first experience using AirBnB. Richelle has set the bar high for hospitality, being extremely hospitable and accessible.

My wife and I stayed for four nights along with our adult son and his fiancé. We had come to NY to celebrate Thanksgiving with my wife's brother who was unable to host us for the meal. We had attempted to find a restaurant suitable for the occasion before I finally realized that we might be able to host our little party of five at The Hancock.

I had observed from photos that the table in the kitchen was small, with just two chairs, but after telling Richelle of our plans to bring a small folding table and chairs she insisted that they would provide them and whatever else we might need.

It became clear that Richelle really meant it when she said they would help in any way. We had a wonderful stay!

An important factor for me was Richelle's availability. She answered all of my questions quickly and made every effort to stay in touch and communicate well!

I should mention too that the place was every bit as attractive as pictured, clean and well outfitted too.

We felt quite safe in the neighborhood. We walked to several local places - Key Foods for some groceries we needed; Saraghina Restaurant for dinner on Friday (excellent) and to their bakery on Saturday morning for fresh, delicious bread; to a little cafe on Halsey for coffee and pastries. Also, parking was not difficult. We were never more than half a block away.

I should mention, for anyone who hasn't figured out, that the apartment is on the third floor, in case you have accessibility issues.

Oh, and the bathroom is huge, modern and clean. Altogether, our stay was thoroughly lovely. We WILL be back!
