Robin greeted us with a big Glas of ice cold water and a huge smile - and then showed us the rooftop while she carried our luggage into our room.
We didn't see much to Robin after that, as she is very busy!
The room was small and as in the pictures. But she shouldn't have called it Colorful, Convenient and CLEAN, because it wasn't clean. The floors were very dirty and so was the shared bathroom. And she had expressed that she was very busy so many times both in writing and in person, that we didn't feel comfortable telling her to deal with the dirty floors and the bathroom.
But except for that, it IS very convenient and colorful.
The J subway is only 5 minutes away and so is the grocery shop. And Robin had made the cutest little guide to the area with all you would need.
She also lend us two yoga mats one day - that was so sweet of her!
The neighborhood is okay but not super cosy. But other very nice neighborhoods are nearby, so that's not a problem. And we did feel safe - especially in her cosy apartment! And it is easy to go everywhere from the J station - also to the JFK airport.
I would definitely live at Robins place again the next time I come to NYC, but I would hope that she would have more time for cleaning!
I truly recommend this place.
Ps, we would recommend earplugs and perhaps cotton bedsheets and towels as the ones she has feels very plastic like.
