We really enjoyed our stay at Mahmood's place. He was very helpful, responsive and since day 1 we felt very welcomed. He let us check in early wish was very convenient to start exploring the city without our bags. The space is exactly like the picture, it´s an old house but very clean and comfortable. The house is very well located, just 2 blocks away from the bus stop that takes you to Staten Island ferry. And even though we came back late at night every night we felt safe walking around. The neighborhood was very quite (in a good way). We would definitely stay here again!
