David and John (and little John!) are incredible hosts and extremely accommodating! I arrived into NY several hours before check-in and David and John arranged for me to be able to drop my bag off so I could enjoy the day without lugging it around! He even offered a towel and toiletries for me to shower if I wanted when I arrived to drop my bags!
Their communication is top notch! Any questions or requests I had were immediately taken care of.
The house is wonderful and located right next to the J line subway that easily takes you into Manhattan, JFK, and only a few stops from a major station where you can transfer to just about any train to take you to different parts of the city.
The king size bed is incredibly comfortable. I have not slept that good in years, truly. The roof is low, I’m only 5’4 so that wasn’t much of an issue for me, but if you’re taller you’ll have to duck. The room was impeccably cleaned and I was provided 2 towels, 2 wash clothes, 2 bars of soap, 2 shampoo/conditioners, and 2 moisturizer lotions.
The stairs going up into the loft area are quite steep, so be prepared for that. There are 2 bathrooms that were mostly clean, in a shared housing situation I expect the bathrooms to be a bit messy because of the amount of use they get. There were a couple times I needed to use the first floor bathroom as the 2nd floor was occupied. I believe the house was at capacity during my time here so that is to be expected.
The kitchen was clean and stocked with all the dishware you could need as well as spices to cook with if that’s your plan for dining. David also provided dining options and food delivery options in a binder in the room. Both David and John’s phone numbers as well as the WiFi information is posted all over the house so getting connected was super easy and the internet is wicked fast! Made my photo editing and uploading process so much faster than at home!
There’s a TV in the room, but I didn’t use it. There are AC units in every room in the house keeping it comfortably cool in the hot and humid NY summer weather. It was such a relief walking into the house after sweating it out on the town.
I highly recommend this Airbnb and will definitely stay again in future! Thank you David and John for such a wonderful NY housing experience!
