Sometimes it's the host that makes an AirBnB great, and sometimes it's the property. In this case, it's both. Lester is one of the most hospitable and friendly hosts I've ever encountered. He made sure check-in was a breeze and was consistently easy to communicate with throughout stay. The room itself is one of my favorite AirBnB rooms I've ever stayed in, and easily my favorite in NYC. The room is large with lots of big windows and great light. The house is on a cul de sac so I never heard traffic (extremely rare for NYC.) The furnishings were lovely and featured several plants making for a very cozy and comfortable stay. I would absolutely stay here again. I might recommend an eye mask for guests who are bothered by light in the mornings, and there are stairs up to the room, so let that be noted if accessibility is a challenge. The AC worked well, as did the hot water. The room has a minifridge and an enormous TV. Several subways and bus lines are ten minutes away or less by foot. There are also a variety of markets and restaurants in the area as well.
