Evelyn was an absolutely amazing host. The Airbnb is on the side, it’s a basement apartment. The special touches she’s added are amazing. For the price this place can’t be beat. We were greeted by her son who told us everything in the apartment was for our use. She provided so many snacks and actual food it’s was amazing. The beautiful posters and art on the wall about black history were so great to see. Everything was clean, the bed was so comfortable, the train was right around the corner. There is a family dollar store right across from the train within a 3 min walk. Restaurants everywhere, and she also provides u with several menus of people who deliver right by the door as well. Everything was so great! Only a few cons, but the pros out weigh the cons by far.
Cons: we were there during a rain storm so the cable didn’t really work, and the stations that are provided are few even if the tv did work. We had our iPad so we just watched movies on our on iPad.
The stove wouldn’t work, kept causing the fuse to break but Evelyn provided a portable electric stove we could use instead, which worked.
The sink handle was broken and had been taped i tried to turn it off and it came completely off, took us a minute to try and get the handle back on and the cold water off.
As I stated above the pros FAR outweigh the cons, the place was beautiful and Evelyn left beautiful touches everywhere and made sure that we were very comfortable. Anytime we come back to New York we will definitely be booking this place if it’s available, and you should too!!
