Patricia and Cherisse's place was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and at a convenient location - 5 to 10 mins from the subway. If you love Mexican food, you're in for a treat as there are great authentic places on the street. I have to say it's my best Airbnb experience so far - it never felt like I'm staying at an accomodation but actually at a close friend's place. Cherisse is an incredible host - she spoils you with great company and gives you access to a kitchen than is thoughtfully stocked up. I was so tired from my 16-hour flight, that I ended up spending the whole evening at home and Cherisse made me a nice meal. I also had a chance to meet and chat with other guests and all of us enjoyed hanging out and chatting around the kitchen table. The room I stayed in was even better than described - sunny, clean and pretty. Even though there are a few cats, the entire house and bathroom are very clean. I found it easy to commute into Manhattan either by the subway or even the ferry ride. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great experience. You do have to climb a few stairs - so make sure you're up for it. The neighborhood is safe and friendly. Cherisse made sure I had a wonderful experience. She is such a vibrant and lovely person, her infectious energy rubs off on you. Can't wait to be here again.
