This is my third stay with this airbnb. Mahmood is a fantastic host as always ; whenever I come to visit NYC, I always check availability with this airbnb first.
Mahmood is a very kind and welcoming host ; he and his wife make me feel right at home, along with their cat Lupas. They are very kind and very accommodating hosts. As I was leaving the night after I checked out for a long drive to upstate NY, they let me know I forgot a towel, and I was able to return and retrieve it before I left.
I usually take Amtrak when I visit NYC, but this time I actually drove to the city. There is plenty of free, unrestricted street parking near the airbnb. No one messed with my car either, and I felt perfectly safe leaving it be for the entire day while I went into the office.
I also took the bus back and forth from the ferry because of the cold weather. During previous visits, I would normally just walk back and forth from the ferry since it is a short 20 - 30 minute walk. The bus that takes you to and from the ferry runs in sync with the ferry, and it is a short 5 - 10 minute bus ride to the airbnb. The bus drops you off less than 3 minutes walking distance from the house.
Overall, I again highly recommend this airbnb to anyone who seeks a kind and accommodating host, and to anyone who is looking for convenient (and free) access to Manhattan via the ferry.
