I stayed here with my sister for a few days. Host gave us an extensive and detailed tour explaining the amenities. We were allowed to use the upstairs kitchen (utensils and fridge included, unfortunately no freezer) and she even offered her groceries. The place is having some construction done, but it didn't interfere with our stay. I stayed downstairs at the front room: It tends to retain heat and AC in the room cannot be used during the day, however, host provided us with access to another AC unit on the room next door to keep things cool, and there's at least 3 fans you can have in the room. Host was flexible with check in. The hot water stopped working one night, but it was fixed in the morning and never went out again. The place is free of bugs and pests. Host asks that you clean up after yourself and make sure to lock doors behind you. Host is very flexible and easy to work with. Host does better with in-person communication rather than texts. I would consider staying here again, if I needed to be in East NY again.
