Hector and Clarissa are amazing hosts. We enjoyed their Airbnb for a week and they made sure everything was great. They respond prompt to texts or communication. The location is superb! Their rooftop looks out over Manhattan and we had many dinners up there. Around the Airbnb are many delicious restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Trader Joe’s is an 8 minute walk. Another well stocked supermarket 6 minutes away. The kitchen has all the great appliances and extras to eat at home if you so desire.
The apartment is well decorated and stylish. Everything is there, from a Nespresso to kickstart the day, to a large tv to have a movie night at home. Everything you need is there!! There is a large gym with plenty of elliptical equipment, weights and exercise machines. Laundry room, bike storage, all present. You don’t have to leave!
In case you do…there are 3 subway stations very close by. 2 stops and you are mid Manhattan. We took the G to Coney Island Beach and it is a straight connection. Door to door in 1 hour. Industry park, Brooklyn heights, Dumbo, Williamsburg, all straight connections. Fast and easy. Manhattan, Soho, The Met, MoMa, the beaches in Queens, Astoria, everything is close by as this location is in the middle of it all!
We highly recommend it!
If you are looking to spend some time in NY to explore different areas, this is a great place to stay! Long Island City is the new area to be!!
