Highly recommend and would stay again! It was great having a clean, spacious, safe place to rest after such long days exposing the city. We appreciated Rose’s humor, hospitality and for being attentive to our needs and safety. Check in was a little different than I’m used to but Rose made every effort to be accommodating. She offers to drive you around the neighborhood upon arrival and gives local tips/advice on subways, buses, etc. The neighborhood is heavily occupied by the Jewish community. They definitely keep to themselves but were nice when greeted. Lots of families and kids! The apartment was perfect for two people. It was the entire downstairs finished basement with a private entrance (through their laundry area) with a separate door leading to the private apartment. There was enough space for our bags while still having walking room (which is hard to find in NY). I was very excited for the shower as advertised, although the door is currently broken and I was afraid to use any of the features other than the red/blue light therapy. Also the water temperature is hard to adjust, so definitely check the temp before entering. It gets very very hot! Other than that, everything else is as advertised. She leaves a bowl of fruit or other snacks if you want. All in all, if you just need some room to breathe outside of the city and don’t mind the 40-60 min subway ride into the city, then this is the place for you!! Well worth it. Thank you Rose for a great stay! You’re the sweetest!
