Our stay at Dee's place was all that we were hoping for and much, much more! It was our first Airbnb experience, so we were a little bit nervous, but everything ended up being really great because of our host.

Unfortunately we didn't meet Dee since she had to travel in the dates in which we where in NY, but she left his friend David in charge, and we couldn't be more happy to have meet him! He's a really polite, and attentive guy! He was always available to help us, and upon checkin, he gave us directions and tips to travel in subway (for example to take the express A train instead of the local C, to reach Manhattan/Brooklyn faster), as well as directions to the nearest restaurants (Peaches HotHouse and Saraghina), supermarkets, and pharmacies. Also, upon checkout, once again, David was there to help us and make sure that we get out in the correct air train stop in JFK!

The apartment is exactly the same as shown in the pictures, and it was spotless! The place is very cozy and bright, and it's perfect for a couple looking for privacy. For instance, we loved the fact that it has its own private bathroom! Also, the air conditioning was perfect, since during our stay, the weather was mostly hot, so we were able to return home and relax after having walked all day through Manhattan. The apartment had all that's necessary for a comfortable stay (towels, small hairdryer, soap, toilet paper, basic kitchen utensils, etc).

Also, we had the pleasure to meet a very curious and friendly cat, that quickly sneaked into our room, each time we talked to David. We had no problem with this, but if you're not a pet lover, that might be something to consider.

As for the neighborhood, the houses are beautiful and there are some friendly neighbors that salute you as you pass by. Bear in mind that to reach the apartment from the subway, you'll have to walk approximately 5/6 blocks. At night, this can be a little intimidating, since there are some streets that are not as nice as the one in which the apartment is located, but we never had a problem, even though every single day we returned home past 9:00 pm.

In conclusion, this is the place to go if you're looking for privacy, but still want to be a "door knock" or email away from a friendly host that is willing to help you. Just keep in mind that you'll have to take the subway to/from Manhattan, but that's something normal in a big city as NY.

Our stay in NY was perfect, so thanks a lot David and Dee!
