this is my first airbnb experience. I stayed at Emmanuel's place for 2 months, and overall I'm happy I didn't go for substantially cheaper options that I initially considered.
big (150ish sq ft, I think) light room on the second floor. plenty of space, so you don't feel cramped. host lives in the same house, so everything is clean and well-maintaned.
restroom is shared, but feels private, as it's right next door. washer/dryer are mostly uncontested - throughout my stay I had to wait for them to become available only once or twice. in fact, quite often I had the feeling I have the entire house for myself.
neighbourhood is mostly asian, so european cuisine options are somewhat limited. overall it's clean, quiet, and feels very safe. usually plenty of parking space in front of the house.
comfortable Manhattan commute - 8 min to Broadway LIRR station (maps app estimate, even less than that if you walk fast), trains on the branch have plenty of free seats even in peak hours.
would I consider this place again in the future, assuming I'm in need of a long-term stay not too far from Manhattan? yes, absolutely.
