I didnt meet Asad but I met his wife Rita && she was fantastic, we didn’t have cash for pops so she came right up && told us just take what we wanted && she would bill us at the end. She even took $1 off in case AirBnB added tax. The cleaning lady was also very pleasant && helpful. There’s a deli && a cafe right around the corner the we frequented. The bus line is just a few blocks further down that takes you to the subway going to Times Square && the 9/11 memorial. There was cereal, bread, coffee && tea available at no purchase for breakfast && a fridge to store I’m your own food or beverages. The neighborhood was safe && for the most part quiet, except for the planes as it is very close to LGA as stated. The toilet in the big bathroom was clogged for a few hours one of the days however we were notified promptly && the issue was resolved expeditiously. This was our first AirBnb experience && I would absolutely recommend it!
