This was our 1st airbnb and Ellouise has set the bar high for others. Our 1st visit to New York and needed something to accommodate our family of 5. The new renovations were obvious especially with the bathroom and kitchen. The whole apartment was clean and well equipped with all amenities from home. Bus stop was less than five minutes from house in very nice quiet neighborhood. We got back home very late most nights and felt very safe. Many restaurants (most deliver), bakeries, convenience stores etc all in easy walking distance. Only 20-25 minutes by bus to get to free SI Ferry that took you to New York. Check in was easy, Ellouise answered any questions we had very promptly. WiFi and cable TV were great. Beds were comfortable and apartment was beautifully decorated. Plenty of space to unpack and relax. Our 1st experience with airbnb was wonderful thanks to Ellouise. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.
