Omar and Kareema’s place was wonderful for my group of seven. Despite there being so many of us, we each had such a pleasant stay! The apartment is located conveniently close (about a 5-7 minute walk) to the subway, and we were able to navigate our way around really easily.
The apartment itself was huuge and gave us plenty of room to sprawl out after our long days roaming around New York. Having three bathrooms was definitely a plus when it came to getting ready in the morning, showering, and getting ready for bed. The beds were super comfortable. Do keep in mind that the proximity to the subway means you can hear it come and go from the apartment, so light sleepers may want to bring earplugs, but it didn’t bother us! The kitchen amenities were wonderful, especially having the Keurig for coffee every morning.
Omar and Kareema were great communicators. They were so kind to let us drop off our bags in the morning prior to check in and when we mentioned that it looked like it might rain, Omar went to grab umbrellas for us (available in the apartment). He even brought our bags into the apartment when it was clean and ready for us to check in. When we ran into an issue with the microwave and let them know, Omar addressed it before we even got back from our day out.
All in all, we had a lovely time and Omar and Kareema were fantastic hosts! Thank you for giving us a place to call home in New York.
