I cannot say enough about Nickesha and her husband Odé. I had another Airbnb reserved for a night I was supposed to fly from Oregon to SFO to Newark, but my first leg was delayed so long that I missed my SFO to Newark flight. The airline switched me to a last minute flight from SFO to JFK instead, which was boarding just as they got me on the flight. I was now scheduled to get into JFK at 11:30 pm that night rather than Newark, so I was frantically cancelling my Newark reservation and searching for an available Airbnb in the JFK area for mere hours away, as I was boarding the flight. I saw that Nickesha's place was available and by the time I had gotten to my seat on the plane, she had accepted my reservation and very kindly assured me that a midnight arrival was not too late given my circumstances.
Then that flight was delayed for take off and delayed at landing, AND the airline lost my bag, so by the time I had gotten the paperwork for my missing luggage done and taxied to Nickesha's place, it was 2 am. All the while she was messaging with me to check on my safety and assuring me that she understood and was still willing to take me in. I felt terrible about the hectic and last minute arrangement, but she was immensely kind in her communications and encouraged me to take my time leaving the next day since it had been such a crazy night for me.
Her husband met me at the door with a warm smile and a handshake when I finally arrived, and was thorough and professional in the quick tour/orientation.
The accommodations were comfy. Nickesha and Odé live nearby. There are two bedrooms, each with a key lock on the doors for security and safety and an air conditioning unit in the rooms. There is a full bath and a little living room area and an enclosed balcony as well. I advise bringing a filled water bottle though as there is no kitchen area or glasses and the bathroom sink is a little small for trying to get a bottle or glass under the faucet to fill.
I'm very grateful for Nickesha's amazing hospitality and extreme patience and flexibility!! THANK YOU!!
