It was meant to be for me to stay at James and Mina's. Less than a week before my trip to NYC my other Airbnb reservation canceled on me. I was in a panic and knew I couldn't afford a hotel. I found James and Mina's place which was in the same area that I was originally booked. I was stoked. I sent my request for booking and then kept hitting refresh as I waited anxiously for a reply. Within maybe an hour James accepted the reservation. Phew.
James was very helpful and quick to reply when I had a question. He also arranged it so I could check-in early because my flight got in at 5am even though both Mina and him work late. I think my previous cancellation was meant to be. The room was just as described and I loved it. The shower had amazing water pressure and instant hot water. The location couldn't be better for getting around Brooklyn and into Manhattan.
I highly recommend stay and James and Mina's if you are visiting NYC.
