My parents, my husband and myself (and our pet cat) stayed at Joseph’s place for 2 weeks from the end of September to the beginning of October.
Before booking, I picked Joseph’s place based on his phenomenal reviews so it was only fitting to write my own to help others book Airbnb stays according to their needs.
Firstly, the place was very clean and there are codes for the front doors to enter and for each bedroom (there are 2 bedrooms). We felt incredibly safe. Joseph actually lives downstairs, and the neighborhood is a nice working class neighborhood. I would definitely recommend having a car here because Queens is gigantic! Each time we left Joseph would save a parking spot out on the street for us by moving his car from his own driveway to the street.
Secondly, the Airbnb itself was great for 4 people. The living room is a nice size, and each bedroom has decent closet space and great window air conditioners. This stay does not have a traditional oven and stovetop, but there is a toaster oven and microwave. At one point the wifi stopped working and was having connection issues, but Joseph fixed it ASAP which was nice.
Thirdly, Joseph was great with giving recommendations for driving, parking, dining, and getting to and from stores.
Fourthly, the garbage. My family is from the Midwest and we were unaware of the garbage and recycling sorting that occurs in NY. Joseph was extremely gracious and understanding and helped to teach us how to correctly sort our trash as houses in NYC can accumulate fines if it is not done correctly.
Overall, Joseph was kind, cordial, accommodating, and very friendly. His place is a great stay and any issues that could arise Joseph is immediately on it. I would 100% recommend this Airbnb.
