This was our first Airbnb experience and Ruby was a great host. She answered my many questions quickly & in detail before we made the booking and she was available to contact all the time of our stay incase we had any questions. She was able to pick us up and drop us back at JFK which was great.

The accommodation was clean and homely for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. My son used the sofa in the lounge area which he said was very comfortable, as were the other beds. There was plenty of bedding and towels provided and Ruby had left us some basic provisions which we appreciated. Good shower but we couldn't use the washing machine as it wasn't located in the apartment & Ruby was away for the duration of our stay. This wasn't really a problem for us though. The kitchen had lots of equipment although we didn't really eat in very much. Good tv & wifi available.

There were 2 subway stations a 15 minute or so walk away and the ride into Manhattan was about 20-30 mins.

Coming from a small village we were a bit anxious about riding the subway at night, but Ruby reassured us & we certainly never felt vulnerable.

The area where the apartment is could be described as a regenerational area however the area was certainly quiet at night time. We were out during the day so couldn't comment on that.

Lovely breakfast at www.emelinesdiner.com about 20 mins walk from the apartment.

The shop just over the road was well stocked & friendly

A great stay, thank you Ruby for making us feel so welcome in your home.
