My husband and I recently stayed 3 nights in Jeannine's basement apartment. We chose the airbnb based on other reviews and the relative proximity to our daughter's apartment (25 min walk). Although we didn't meet Jeannine, we ran into her husband Buck as we were heading out on our bikes the first afternoon, and he couldn't have been nicer, offering restaurant recommendations and biking suggestions. We even met up with him by chance on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk and rode together awhile! Other positives: great communication, easy street parking, early check-in / bag drop-off, nicely furnished and spacious apartment, safe and secure neighborhood. The only real negatives for me (a light sleeper) were the proximity to the subway - which runs all night and sometimes vibrates the house! - coupled with the fact that the apartment is below the owner's living space and we could hear their occasional loud foot traffic. I tried sleeping with the A/C unit turned on the first night but it was extremely loud with no apparent means of controlling the fan. Other than that, this is definitely one of the nicer places we've stayed in the area!
