Great Airbnb whether it's for a long term or short term stay. The room is quite small and a bit crammed but honestly, it wasn't a huge bother and the common space was pretty spacious, stylish and always clean. Gary is a great host and is always willing to give tips for places to go and restaurants to try. The house was always clean and Gary's friends who would come over occasionally were nothing but kind and inviting. Fernando, who also lives in the house, is also super sweet.
There is a washer and dryer unit downstairs ($2 for washer, $2 for dryer). The trains are a bit of a walk but it wasn't too bad. (L train is closest -10 mins- but doesn't run on weekends or late weekday evenings; but M and J trains aren't far at all - 12-15 mins- and are always running). There are a few grocery stores nearby, the bigger ones are approximately 10 min walking distance from house. That said, right around the corner, there's a little Spanish grocery store with all the fruits, vegetables and basic essentials you could need. Don't worry about bringing linens, towels, pillows (or buying toilet paper/paper towels) as they're provided. Altogether, I highly recommend staying here. I'm definitely going to miss the good company and hospitality. It was a great first Airbnb experience!
