This was our first time staying at a Aiebnb and I have to stay it was well worth it! So let me break this down by Pluses and Minuses.

Pluses:
Alex and his family always responded to me in a timely manner, whether it be by Airbnb message or text message.

We got into NY around 12 midnight and to the home around 1, Alex's sister was waiting for us with keys in hand and was able to give us a quick tour of the home.

The pictures were accurate and the home was very well kept

Although we brought our own toiletries (soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc) they provided those as well. There was also a sort of food gift basket with snacks, cereal, soda, juices and such waiting for us.

There was AC in the home (for 2 of the rooms, but I will get into something small about that in minuses). The beds were comfortable and was happy all three rooms had queens.

Alex had a book with things like Wifi password, helpful locations nearby like train routes to the city and restaurants in the area.

They gave us 2 sets of keys because we were renting out the entire home. Which was helpful because my brother and his wife were able to leave when they wanted and not have to wait on us to get in.

They provided a 4 slot toaster and everything for coffee in the morning.

Was able to take the J train into the city and only tool about 15-20 mins.

Minuses:
Although there was AC in two rooms, one of the rooms had no AC. Which may be a issue for some, we were ok because there was a fan in the room and my mom and daughter don't like it that cold anyways.

The AC unit in the 3rd bedroom seemed to leek water, so my brother and his wife had to place a bowl under the unit. Nothing was damaged and we communicated the issue to the owners sister for the future.

There was anything you needed to put into coffee but no coffee maker? There was a electronic water picture to make hot water and instant coffee, but we found ourselves going and buying coffee every morning from a local dinner. Not such a big deal as I don'd drink coffee but many in the home did.

The neighborhood was fine for me or my brother to walk around, but my wife and my daughters did not feel safe exploring on their own. I have family that live about 20 mins away and they were surprised to see such a nice home in that type of neighborhood. But you can tell that they are making updates and there is lots of food and stores near by.

All and all I would totally recommend this home to anyone and would stay here again.

Thanks Alex and family for the great stay!
