Peter was an amazing person! He is the whole meaning of what a super host is. Very polite and kind, he is looking out for everyone he makes sure you have everything you need, you is always on point in terms of communication during your stay there are really no words to describe such person thank you Peter for making our stay so comfortable!!!
Regarding the area, it’s a quite place, there are no noises during the night. Mind the fact that everything are all opening after 9.00 am so in case your flight is early you won’t be able to find anything open there.
Great distance from the metro station just 2 mins walk and 5 mins walk from a bus station.
Very easy reach from the airport in just 30 mins max with the J line.
And it is very easy to go to manhattan as well with J line.
There are many small shops for food and also a supermarket which is very convenient in case you need to buy stuff for the room.
The area was okay and quite but a bit creepy on the night , I highly recommend to get back by 6-7 pm tops..cause personally we faced an unfortunate incident at the supermarket we were shopping from next to our place.
Other than that it’s a Spanish community and everyone in the street are very polite and always say good morning to you.
Regarding the house, it’s an old building so not from the new constructions and not so convenient for people with movement issues or injuries, for instance there are a few stares you need to climb to before reaching the main area where you live and it’s something that needs to be known, the room was very clean and very warm and it was indeed the same with the photos, it was a bit smaller than expected but we had a big wardrobe for the clothes and jackets and our own fridge which was extremely convenient. Peter was so kind to also make sure to fill it up beforehand with water and beverages for us as a welcome home. It has also a smart tv with Netflix which was also a very very good thing in case you come home early and don’t have what to do.
I can’t say a lot for the kitchen as we did not use it to be honest but it’s fully equipped which makes it perfect for cooking in case you feel like cooking and staying at home , just have in mind it’s a bit narrow.
Regarding the bathroom it’s a bit small but it does the job and there is always hot water, it can just get a bit inconvenient if there are a lot of visitors, in our case we were six people wanting to use it, also a small advise would be to have your own personal shampoos and body washes. So it’s good for you to know that before deciding to rent a shared place.
Regarding the visitors we did not have any issues in terms of noise or anything you can hear them if they talk but nothing disturbing the only kinda inconvenient thing is the shared bathroom.
Overall our stay there was very pleasant and smooth I highly recommend if you go to NYC on a budget.
