Our experience at Bob's house was everything we expected and more. The house is beautiful and has everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Even though we didn't get to meet him in person, Bob was always available to answer our questions and assist us. He even left us two bags of coffee before our arrival which was a beautiful gesture, and let us check in earlier since our flight arrived really early in the morning.
The place is even bigger than it looks on the pictures. The kitchen is huge and has absolutely everything you might need to cook. The living room has a big TV with directTV and the couch is really big and super comfy. We were three and one of us slept for 20 days there and didn't complain at all. There's also an electric fireplace which is rarely needed since the house is really warm (We stayed during winter but it wasn't a really cold one).
The shower in the bathroom was excellent and the bedroom was really nice.
There's also a beautiful backyard, which we didn't get to use much 'cause of the weather but seemed like it might be really cool to use during summer or spring.
The location is also very good. There's not much to do in Harlem but the A,C,E and 1 trains are two blocks away, making it fantastic to be downtown in just 15 or 20 minutes (Specially if you take the A train which is an express one, and doesn't stop between 125th and 59th).
The A train will also take you straight to Howard Beach station in an hour or so, where you can connect with the Air train from JFK to go the airport, making it a easy ride.
The neighbourhood has markets, delis, a Dunkin Donuts, Wendys, Starbucks, etc. Everything is really close! I specially recommend Dallas BBQ burgers!
This was our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn't have been better. I would definitely recommend Bob's place and would certainly come back here!
