TL;DR - A great place for a great value! We really enjoyed our stay at Jeff´s place and would warmly recommend it. The appartment was spacious,clean and quiet. Our hosts Jeff and Alex were wonderful and very helpful. All the information given in the advertisment above is true and correct.
This was our first AirBnB experience, hence we were a litte bit anxious beforehand - all in vain. Everything went down smoothly - from Check-in to Check-out ten days later.
The accommodation is located at the northern tip of Manhattan Island in a mostly Dominican neighborhood with two beautiful parks within walking distance.
The A- and 1- train are literally a 5 minutes walk away which is very convenient if you plan on traveling pretty much anywhere in Manhattan and beyond.
The appartment was extremely spacious and quiet for NY standards. All shared spaces were kept nice and tidy all the time. The bathroom and kitchen offer pretty much everything that comes to mind including a personal fridge.
The bedroom with two king-sized beds (very comfortable mattresses and a variety of pillows to choose from) was huge (approx. 20-25 m²) and the windows, facing the inner courtyard of the appartment buildung, made the room very quiet.
The gigantic TV including a PS4 and WiFi as well as all the other amenities mentioned in the description put this accomodation so far ahead of every affordable and (not even) comparable hotel room.
Our hosts and co-host, Jeff and Alex, made us feel comfortable in an instant. Both are open-minded, friendly, reliable as well as communicative and don`t shy away from a thoughtful conversation.
Especially their knowledge of the neighborhood and city enabled them to give us great recommendations on where to spend our precious time.
Additionally their cats, April and Franklin, were absolutely adorable and made us miss ours a little less. April is the cutest bengal ever and Franklin loves to snuggle and play fetch all day. We miss you.
If you are a group of at least two people traveling to New York looking for a nice and quiet place to stay - this is what you're looking for.
We had pretty much a perfect week and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you, a million times, for sharing your home with us!
