Claudel and Jesus are so kind! I was a little worried about the shared space setup (curtained off living room), especially after reading some reviews of other nearby, positively-rated hosts that were annoyed if their guests stuck around during the day, but Claudel and Jesus mostly stayed in their room when they weren’t using the shared area, and when they came out, they tried to be very quiet if it wasn’t obvious that I was already awake.
I wasn’t permitted to drop off my luggage early, but they were very nice about it, and they managed to move up my check-in time by 2 hours. They have jobs, so it’s understandable.
As the listing states, there isn’t an accessible washing machine on-site. The nearest laundromat isn’t too far, but not that close either, about short 4-5 blocks away. The neighborhood’s great though. You’ll be right next to Riverside Park, and there’s lots of food options nearby, as well as the 1 train.
Would definitely stay again!
