This is a great spot with an amazing host. There were a few things that could have been done to enhance the experience. It gets cold in the basement and although Hamad respondes quickly to our requests to turn the heat up, a space heater would give one the opportunity to control the temperature. There was a weird smell but with a candle and febreeze it wasn’t truly an issue. Again Hamad accommodated all our requests but it can get frustrating hearing everything that goes on above your head in the middle of the night and a forewarning about the rooster may be nice. All in all this AirBNB served its purpose, was clean, host was very responsive, and it was close enough to MTA to make moving to and throughout the city easy. If I stayed here again I’d ask that Hamad provided a space heater, more towels and washcloths and a few more household items (trash bags, broom, etc) to make the stay more independent.
Note: If you are using public transportation the route to the city is about 60-90 minutes or a 60$-100$ Uber and to LGA is over an hour away.
