This was my very first Airbnb experience, and it was more than what I expected. My boyfriend and I really loved Alice's place. The pictures provided are exactly what it looks like or even better. It is very clean, cozy and all white. We really loved the lighting in the room, and all the little things that were provided.
When we arrived, we were greeted by Nevin, and she was very nice. She showed us a guidebook that they provide for you to check out what's around and how to get to places. They also provided light snacks and a lot of drinks (Sparkling cider, apple juice, milk, root beer and more juice) that we loved. One of the nights that we stayed, we took out food from Chinatown in flushing and enjoyed the sparkling cider. They also made breakfast for us for one of the mornings we stayed, and it was our first time having Asian style breakfast. It was a great experience.
The amenities provided were also commendable. They gave us two metro cards that were useful to us since we traveled a lot through the subway. In the room, they provide you two blankets, one is a heated. They have an iron, hangers, and storage space. They also have a mini fridge, microwave, water heater, rice cooker, and coffee maker. They also have a mini stove and cooking supplies. There's air conditioning and a ceiling fan which was perfect for our summer stay. They've provide you with everything you need and more.
One thing we really loved was the bathroom. It's very cute and narrow. We also didn't expect for the toilet to have a bidet. It made us feel like we are staying at a 5 star hotel. They provide you with 3 clean towels and they have all the toiletries you need from Shampoo to shaving cream. They even have a first aid kit and a thermal patch that we use after a long day of walking in NY.
My bf and I liked that we had a private entrance, and we were exploring the city til late. We were able to come in and out whenever we pleased. It really felt like you have your own studio apartment. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We walked from the bus stop at night, and it was fine. The walk to the nearest bus stop was only 3mins away. It was very easy to get around. The place was 20 mins away from the airport by driving.
Overall, we really loved our stay and would booked this place again if we were to visit NY again. Thank you!
