I booked this place as there were already many 5* detailed reviews, so the experience was much as expected. Marjorie is lovely, she sent messages asking if we had any questions before our visit and responded promptly to emails. For an 8 night first stay in NY this was perfect- a safe neighbourhood, secure property, with a good shower and comfortable beds (even the one converted from a table was unexpectedly comfortable!) There are few listings with 2 beds for 2 travelling together but not wanting to share a double bed.
Marjorie helped with recommendations for transport as we had a lot of luggage, for my daughter who is staying to study in Manhatten. We had a good experience with the Express bus from JFK to Port Authority Bus terminal. Marjories directions for the Metro two blocks away, then the Skytrain (total $8 !) for my return to JFK also very easy from her place. All-in-all a great place to stay, clean with all the amenities you need and a great host.
