Book this Airbnb!! My FIRST time in NYC made easy!
I lost my phone in NY on the way to the bus station so this review is somewhat late.
But I stayed with Sonia & Victor from Aug 6th to Aug 9th and it was the BEST stay I could’ve found for me and my 4 year old daughter in New York!!
We are from S.C. and my daughter is very particular about what she likes and doesn’t like but she felt so at ease in this space she called it home whenever she was tired and ready for bed, however she doesn’t like animals (any animal) which I already knew while booking this Airbnb so I kind of hid the fact that they had 2 cats until checkout HA! But the cats were no problem they were the sweetest little things and wrapped around my legs every time I made my way to the bathroom.
They do have children and she kindly apologized if they made noise in the morning because they are up getting ready for some sort of schooling, so I feel anyone with kids should understand this. Her kids were no problem I wake up at 8am anyway and my daughter slept like the baby she is.
The Room is Awesome it’s set up with 2 windows full of street view & I believe the bed is a queen size memory foam mattress, I’m not sure if they provide any blankets I already had my own so I never asked but you may want to ask during the booking process. The TV is a great size I used the source option on the Remote to use mirror screening from my phone so we could watch Netflix & I had my tablet just in case I needed my phone. The room also had a mini fridge and a electric kettle (Bring your own water & tea/coffee) they do provide 2 big coffee cups though.
They also have a private guest bathroom located outside of the room but it is specifically for you, it has a stand up shower and my daughter hates showers but she loved the fact she could hold the shower head and it wouldn’t spray her in the face, so she approved of it!
Sonia does let you know that during the day if you’re not home turn the A/C off and that’s understandable bills are high especially up North the cost of living is more expensive and we also do the same at my home in S.C. so I did however bring a mini powerful fan so we could cool off quickly while we waited for the room to cool down once we got back in.
We stayed out pretty late Exploring everyday we were in NY and they didn’t mind the late hours that we returned and of course we tried our best to be respectful and quite so we wouldn’t wake anyone. The location is VERY convenient the subway is literally a 2 min walk up the street and they have lots of food options right around the corner. The neighborhood is nice and clean and we had no issues getting back “Home” as my daughter called it.
All in all it was a 5 STAR stay I will definitely stay with them again!
Side Note: Even when we checked out and we were waiting on our ride outside they offered to let us sit in their living room & watch TV so we wouldn’t be out in the sun (Unfortunately my daughter wanted to blow bubbles) but the fact they gave us that option was Awesome!
