Our first time using Airbnb and we would definitely use it again. We really enjoyed staying in Eada's home. It was clean, comfortable and private. She is an excellent host. Communicated with us easily and returned our texts promptly. Very helpful with recommending a market close by and transportation to/from the airport. She was so gracious in letting us drop our bags off early and holding them after check out so we could make the most of our 4 days in New York. The subway is about a 10-15 min walk away, which we found very reasonable. But there is also the bus just around the corner that will take you to the station if you don't want to walk. Very easy and quick ride into Manhattan. We found the Citymapper App was genius in helping to plot your routes around the city.
To those who posted concerns about the doors, yes the ones closing off the rental space from the rest of the floors in the house are bi-fold doors, but they both have locks. We found them quite secure. From the outside of the house there are 2 locked doors (one with a deadbolt) that you have to go thru to enter the house on the main floor. Eada was quick to show me that there is a locked door between the upper floor and the second floor (where she is) so no one else has access. It is a private space.
I highly recommend staying here and we would do so again on our next trip to New York.
Thank you again for having us Eada! :)
