I love to cook, and I cooked for almost every meal I had in NYC. It was a bit challenging to work in someone else's kitchen, but I managed steaks, noodle soups, nachos, toasts, pasta just fine. My friend and I are heavy coffee drinkers. We'd appreciate a bigger coffee making device - however, whatever Neida has right now does brew exellent drip coffee!
My back started to complain to me about the bed being too soft after 4 nights on it. I kind of doubt it was the bed. Maybe it was just the lack of exercises, and the discomfort of having to share a full size with a bigger person - I have a queen and my bedmate is a 25 lbs poodle at home...
Neida was always helpful. She was so kind to help me and my friend with dishes, because it was my birthday!
We had everything we needed to make our first visit to NYC so enjoyable. Whether it's Netflix and chill at the apartment, dinner-at-home date, or 4-hour breakfast, we felt almost at home.
The internet might get a bit slow when you have to share it with maybe 3-4 other people. Keep that in mind if you plan for heavy use of the internet.
Laundry is available but a bit complicated. Therefore, leave some generous amount of time to do laundry, if you need to. Or... Just borrow your friend's shirt like I did instead :)
Mark all subway stations that are close by to you for which subway trains specifically. 145, 155, 157 are great stops to go pretty much everywhere. By 157, there's a small, local, Hispanic - maybe, grocery store. Don't judge the book by its cover. The store has everything you might need at awesome prices - for NYC.
Small liquor store just across the street from the apartment only has cheap wines, no beers, and Ok-priced liquor - $40 for a Belvedere.
This is my first stay with airBnB. Of course, I will be back!
Thank you, Neida, for everything!
I might come back sooner than I think. Sascha is only 6 hours away from NYC. And yes, I do like to see him more often :)
