I planned my first trip to NY near US Open tennis tournament for 8 days, booked a few months in advance. Veronica engaged with me multiple times to make sure I understood it was a shared space and showed me pictures. If you're not used to share spaces and are high maintenance, this stay is not for you. Veronica asked me if there were any accommodations I needed and I just said that I'd be working 2 days from the space and enjoying NY and the tournament for the rest. She ended up buying a laptop holder stand, which was a pleasant surprise! Did not expect it.
The location was a 20 minute ride from LaGuardia. I was received 2 hour before check in, but Veronica was very gracious to allow me entry.
The Airbnb space is in a basement apartment with 2 rooms, which are occupied by Veronica and her family. The living room has 1 couch enclosed by curtains and another couch that's in the open space. Finally, there's a space that holds a small bed, fan, and desk with bottom cabinets. There's a curtain that you can close for privacy.
The bathroom is stacked with anything you might need. Almost too generous with towels, shaving cream (which I used twice), shampoo (Fiji for the win), conditioner, lotion, etc,. Remember that you will share the space with not just Veronica and her family, but 2 other Airbnb guests besides you so plan your use accordingly. I didn't feel like there were long waits except 1 time where I knocked and asked if the person will be done soon. It was received well. The bathroom smelled amazing each time I entered as well. Veronica keeps a standard and keeps her place clean.
The kitchen is in the living room space so it may be used during the day. There's a shelf with various items you can eat. Veronica bought some treats like brownies, goldfish and some small cinnamon treat, can't remember name.
Again, know what you're getting into and be reasonable. Veronica will check on you and will chat you up to feel like home and make sure you're alright.
Speaking of US Open, it was 35 min walk the long way. 25 mins if you set your maps to JAA Delicorp and walk through Queens park to the East??? entrance. Thank me later.
I don't usually write these long reviews, but Veronica was a great host. Thanks a lot
