Tom’s place is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful decor. Great location. Close to express subway. And Tom was easy to communicate with and fast in his responses.
The only — ONLY — letdown for me was the restrictions placed on the use of the kitchen. I travel a lot for work and often seek “Entire Home” rentals on AirBnB to save money by cooking my own meals. Unfortunately, Tom has a policy of only allowing water to be heated, but not full meal cooking. While listed in the house rules, it was buried in the text and I didn’t realize this until after I got to his place. My fault, sure, but it sh/could have been made more obvious. He was gracious enough to let me cook one dinner that I’d already shopped for, but it did put a damper (and added expense) on my stay. This is a shame, because as I said, this place is truly a gem. So if cooking isn’t important to you, I can’t recommend Tom’s place enough! You will definitely enjoy your stay.
