As this was my first experience with Airbnb and Ellen's unit, the experience exceeded my expectations. Ellen was a great host, quick to respond to my requests and messages; even walking the 4 short blocks in the rain to help us find the place since STREET and AVENUE are not the same thing! Ellen's place was perfectly located between Manhattan and JFK (approx 30 minutes to each) which was perfect for our trip! Ellen left us a few goodies in the fridge which came in quite handy and the area had plenty of eateries and grocery stores for all our needs. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom sufficient from the three of us, and the Netflix on the TV was great for unwinding before bed. The only negative is that it was a little noisy for us as there was a kid (we assume) screaming and blowing a horn of some kind into the night one night. If we were used to apartment living, perhaps we wouldn't have even noticed it, but in comparison to our large yard, single family home life in the south, it seemed like the walls were a bit thin. Absolutely nothing Ellen could do about that, so we would definitely recommend Ellen's place and would stay there again if the circumstances allowed. Thanks again, Ellen for all you did for us. This was definitely a trip to remember!
