I enjoyed my stay at Anthony’s place. The check-in instructions & process was clear and smooth. His instructions on how best to reach his place from the Airport were clear and simple. The place itself is located within a 10 min walk from both the Nostrand Avenue Station A&C Subway lines and the Long Island Railroad line (LIRR). I was in New York for a vacation and I could go to every destination / attraction I needed to visit by just using the subway. Every major attraction in New York / Manhattan area is within 20-25 mins and max 45-50 mins journey time, depending on the commute and connection times, so it is convenient that way. Yes, the area near the Nostrand subway station has presence of vagrants but nothing to make you feel uncomfortable. I regularly used to walk back late nights after 10 pm and did not feel uncomfortable. The area has lots of eateries and shops (including fast food chain restaurants) within 10 min walk so its convenient. The room is clean and the AC worked fine in the summer to cool the room on the ground floor. I used the room where the bathroom is not attached / ensuite but the door is right nextdoor, so it’s almost private as I had full private use of the bathroom ( a big plus in New York area Airbnbs). The other room guests do not usually bother you.
Anthony is a gracious host. I lost something very valuable on the Train from the Airport the day I arrived. I informed Anthony and he came down and spoke to me about it. Then he found out information about how I should report the incident through the Lost & Found process. Over the course of the next few days he would always check-in on the progress and ask if I needed help. He helped me print out the Police Complaint complete with an envelope! Otherwise he is very unobtrusive and present only if you need him to be. Overall a great experience.
