We picked this place both because of the reviews and location. I marked that it was "about the same as I had expected" because the reviews were great and also turned out to be accurate! O'Dell is a genuinely kind and pleasant person who welcomed us with love. This home was a much needed comfort for our family after trekking NYC every day, and we called it home.
We appreciated that it was a fully functioning home with all the amenities needed to treat it as such. We cooked meals there, enjoyed air conditioning and lounging areas, showered, slept, and I worked using the Wi-Fi. When were at the house and didn't feel like cooking there were many surrounding options to choose from, which we did order out the first night and ate in the enclosed back yard. The home was safe and very clean. We especially appreciated the decor!
The subway entrance on Euclid and Pitkins to the A (express) line was of utmost importance and we used it every day.
O'Dell was a superb host who was always readily available and we recommend this listing to anyone planning on staying in NYC!
