My son and I couldn't have asked for a better Airbnb experience. It was exactly what I was looking for - a friendly home-from-home where hospitality was our host's no 1 priority. We immediately felt comfortable and welcome, and that just increased as the days went by. They couldn't do enough to make our stay in NYC better.
Even though we were approx 40 mins subway ride from Manhattan, it didn't ever feel we were far away from the city, and transport links were good and easy even from JFK. I didn't ever feel worried when walking back in the evening in the neighbourhood- their home is a short walk from the Metro.
Mercedes and Roro (and Orion the huge-eyed cat) were friendly, sweet and couldn't do enough for us. Will be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you both for helping to make our short stay in NYC very comfortable and enjoyable. We have made new friends!
