Gaby and Thomas are great hosts and they made us feel at home immediately. They checked us in in person and provided a lot of useful explanations and info about the neighborhood and transportation, and they had stocked the fridge and cabinets for our first meal. They live in the apartment downstairs and were always available if we had any requests.
The apartment was the perfect size for the 5 of us and corresponds exactly to the pictures. The rooms are small but the beds are confortable for a few nights. There is only one tiny bathroom so getting ready in the morning can take some time! It was really hot when we visited and the apartment gets very warm as well, although there is air conditioning in all 3 bedrooms.
It's located about 10-15 minutes to the subway station and about 30 minutes from downtown Manhattan. The neighborhood can get a little loud at night but we felt very safe.
Overall we had a good experience, for the location and price this was a great choice for our stay in New York. Thanks Gaby and Thomas!
