Reviews are very important when I’m looking for a place to stay, so this is long.
I cannot say enough good things about Harry and the apartment he rents.
First of all, communication was absolutely amazing. Every question or comment was answered within minutes, and his answers were complete and informative.
His check-in is perfect. I love the app that allows for one less key. It was so easy not only to check-in but also getting in and out during the day -a bonus when you have to walk a dog.
Harry’s house rules and directions could not be more specific. From getting into the house to all the light switches being labeled, he made sure we knew everything. He provides his information in little acrylic frames (like hotels) so you can’t miss it.
The apartment itself is beautiful, with space for everything necessary for a couple and small pet. It’s staged nicely, decorated tastefully, and has all the basics you need to “live” there. And there is a grocery store close by, making it even easier. And you are very close to the subway.
Take a shower. All I’m saying :)
If you like to walk around, the house is across the street from the Alexander Hamilton Grange. While the building itself is closed for the moment, there is a nice park with lots of places to get your “steps.”
If you like Dominican food (does anyone not?), Caridad 145 is less than 1/2 mile away, and the food is superb.
Finally, it is not easy to find an Airbnb that takes pets, and choices are often limited. I feel like my husband and I hit the jackpot with this place. Being from Jersey, it is rare for us to actually spend a night or two in the city. Harry’s hospitality made it a very pleasant experience. Five out of five stars.
