Although listed, I believe, as a "private room", Claudette's rental is a roomy basement apartment with a good sized bathroom, with a bath tub and shower and much more room than you usually get with many Manhattan apartments; also, bed room is roomy & quiet, with a big fan, if needed, and a living room with TV and full sized refrigerator. A big plus is the private entrance, yet Claudette upstairs in her 2 story house, is only a phone call or knock away, if her help is needed. And very nice was the refrigerator having multiple bottles of cold water, 4 bagels, milk, cream cheese and orange juice, with supplies to make oat meal, hot cocoa, coffee & tea-made for convenient breakfasts. The check-in was very smooth, with Claudette waiting in her front yard when I drove up. And Claudette was super prompt in her pre-arrival communications, and it is obvious that she cares very much about her rental and that her renters would be pleased with their experience at her place. I presume that the price being as low as it is for this sized place and supplies is due to it not being located in the center of NYC sights, but its location was great for me with my rental car and desire to visit people and places in Queens & Brooklyn & Nassau, plus I wanted to be close to JFK for my early morning flight without fighting rush hour traffic and without paying the high hotel rates for JFK area rooms. Claudette is a very nice & caring person, & I would definitely recommend her place, & would stay there again, if needed.
