This was my first experience with Airbnb and I was a bit apprehensive but I need not have worried. From my very first communication with Althea, her open and friendly manner set my mind at ease before we even arrived at Lincoln Place. The apartment itself is exactly as it looks and is described on Airbnb - very clean and comfortable with beautiful wooden floors. It suited my family of four perfectly and even though we didn't need it (our children are young adults), the inclusion of a cot in the largest bedroom would make it ideal for a younger family as well. Access to the smallest bedroom is through the largest bedroom but that was not a problem for us. If it had been, there is a door that connects the smallest bedroom to the landing so do not let this put you off. The kitchen is fully equipped with kettle, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, cooker and a large fridge/freezer and was more than adequate for our needs. Althea greeted us with a basket containing essentials such as bread, milk and juice on our arrival which was very kind and very welcome! The area around the apartment is vibrant and interesting with grocery stores, restaurants and cafes (Lula Bagel is great) within close walking distance. My husband and son even managed to have a haircut at the local barbershop on the corner! We felt safe and experienced no problems at all - people were quite friendly. The local subway station, Nostrand Avenue, is a five minute walk away and the Number 3 train takes you into the heart of Manhattan in about 35 mins. The apartment is about half an hour from JFK and Althea kindly booked us a cab to take us to the airport when we were leaving. I can highly recommend staying at Lincoln Place and if I have the good fortune to visit NYC again, I will definitely book with Althea!
