Merlyn and Francisco are wonderful hosts. Check in can be as early as 10am and they live at the property so checking in and out is super easy. This was the most stocked Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Kitchen utensils, pots, pans, dishes galore! There was a keurig and pods for coffee plus other items like creamer, soda, juices, pancake syrup, ice, some frozen breakfast meals, oatmeal and hot coco packets. The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, Lotion, even bubble bath. I could go on and on about how stocked things were, I was so amazed. At first we were a bit skeptical of the neighborhood. This was our first time in New York and we are from Chicago so we were unsure by the way things looked around the area. Merlyn assured us that it was safe and she walked around everywhere all the time. She was 100% correct we walked everywhere and never felt unsafe all the people in the neighborhood were very kind. The subway is only about a 15 minute walk and we took it everywhere after Merlyn was so kind to give us a subway map and gave us a crash course on what to expect. When I return to New York again I will definitely stay at Francisco and Merlyn’s corona gem!
