The host was absolutely great. The host is a man named Chester and his mother, who stays with him is Joycelyn. He was very responsive and made our stay as accommodating as possible. He even allowed for early check-in and let us leave our bags after check-out until we went to the airport. The neighborhood reminded me of scenes from Crooklyn which was so wonderful and nostalgic for me. The neighbors were very friendly and full of life. The neighborhood is being gentrified so a lot of changes will be coming soon, but I believe for the better. Hopefully the great vibes stay along with the beautiful people. I will certainly be booking with Chester for our next visit to NY.
