Celina was a great host who was very communicative and responsive when help was required. For example I needed a kettle during this visit and extra water which was provided without hassle.
The location is a lot further than it looks from Manhattan. It takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to get there with the local Q30/Q31 bus and subway connection so bare this in mind if you reserve it. The neighborhood was quiet. Note however that this is a basement apartment and you can hear noise from the floor above quite audibly during the visit (as the host has kids it was the sound of them running around) so something to note. The location was clean and tidy. The apartment is small but functional. Cutlery, crockery and toiletries were provided as well as extra bedding for the sofabed. The sofabed has seen better days and the springs that appear to have gone on the sofabed made it for a hard and uncomfortable sleep during the visit. The bathroom is small and had a strong shower which became hot quickly. There was also a fridge, freezer and microwave in working order. The floor lamp in the home had one light that was not working. The WiFi was free and fast. A hair dryer was also provided.
Overall the home was great value but has its compromises in terms of location and what it has to offer. I would consider staying again.
