My boyfriend and I just spent a week at Dorina's. It was our first time using Airbnb as well as visiting New York. Dorina's place was exactly as shown in the photos. It was clean, beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. She had provided toilet paper, soap, shampoo, eggs, milk, juice, coffee, cereal, house slippers, robes, blankets, etc. It was a delightful surprise, and it definitely added a special touch. I can see why she is a super host. Dorina was very friendly and gave us our space, but was always readily available to answer any questions we had. She responded promptly to all of my texts. She gave suggestions on food, markets, and transportation. Everything we needed to know was printed out in the room as well. The area felt extremely safe and was quiet. Metropolitan Ave. was about an 8 minute walk, and there was a CVS, 7-eleven, shops, and a really delicious pizza place called Carlos that we tried. The bus stop was right on the same street where we were able to catch the Q-54 bus to the subway. The subway ride was only about a 30-45 minute ride, depending on where you want to go in Manhattan. It was not a problem for us since we enjoyed the subway ride. Just be aware that if you stay out late, there may be delays on the subway. One night it took us about 2 hours to get back to our room because our subway got delayed and we had to catch 3 different subways to get back. However, it was part of the experience and it never felt unsafe when we stayed out late. There are so many people around even when it's super late. If you don't mind putting in a little work to get to Manhattan, then this is a perfect location for you. Dorina's place was also a lot more affordable and bigger than most places in the city. And we were able to explore Williamsburg as well since we were close by. Dorina even allowed us a later checkout since our flight was later. The whole experience was great, and we would love to stay here again. Thank you, Dorina!
