Where to begin? What an amazing trip topped off by this perfect space. To start off, the check-in process was quick and easy. I received a warm greeting by Gordon and given a quick lay of the land. As I was settling in, Gordon messaged me to ensure I had everything I needed. The room was spotless and the kitchen had everything I would need to prepare full meals. Being in Manhattan, it’s impossible to get away from the noise of the street, but the widows were as good as it gets for keeping out noise. With the widows closed, the street noise dropped by 90%.
Location was perfect too. There is a very friendly Wash and Fold dry cleaners just steps from the building, although a washer and dryer are available in the building. The location is also within five blocks of three Subway stations and the Roosevelt Island Tram. The neighborhood is also very safe and I never felt uncomfortable.
As for Gordon, he couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating. If routine maintenance was needed in the building, Gordon posted signs well in advance stating exactly when they would need access to the room. Gordon was always quick to respond to questions, but most importantly, I was given my privacy and never felt as if he was “checking up on me”. This was my first AirBnB experience, so naturally was I apprehensive to book a month long trip, but the moment I walked into the room, all my worries fell away.
Gordon, thank you so much. You helped make this trip one I will look back on fondly for the rest of my life!
