The place is exactly as described. Josefina is a lovely host with her husband Marvin and their lovely pet Cory. She communicates well and responds quick to any queries. She contacted me a day before to give me the heads up and all about getting in the house incase i arrived when there was no one. I got there in the afternoon before Marvin left for work and he helped carry my luggage upstairs and showed me around the house and all. They went above and beyond, their hospitality is outstanding, so warm and welcoming, i honestly felt at home in their beautiful clean home, it was homely and cosy. The room is lovely, nicely laid out, has a lock, had a basket with pamphlets for things to do and see in NYC and subway info, cafes and restaurants in the neighbourhood, toiletries, chocolate, towels and 2 bottled water and felt like I'm in a hotel but in a homely environment. It was great talking to her and thank you for more suggestions and tips for things to do and see around the city and which train lines to take and all. Josefina's kitchen has a basket full of snacks, cereal bars, variety of teabags, coffee you name it all and bottled water and cereal supplied daily that i was welcome to make use of and handy to get my day started as i was out all day till late at night. She even made a bagel toast with cream cheese for breakfast one morning for me and Marvin made tortillas with fried plantains another day. The house is on a quiet street, the J train is down the road, you can see it passing when you stand by their doorstep. The J train takes you to Broadway Junction and then connect to the A or C train to Manhattan. Heaps of cafes and restaurants, grocery stores and shops on the main road. Great location and would highly recommend. I would not hesitate staying here again whenever I'm back in town.
