We stayed with John and Ainslie for 5 nights while visiting New York. Both were very nice and helpful with advices. The cats - especially muffin - were lovely. The room offered is very spacious, with a nice window and a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was great, very nice decorated and spacious aswell. However whilst the bathroom was very clean, unfortunately the bedroom leaked some cleanliness. The carpet was dirty and the couch as well as the mirror and dresser hasn't been cleaned for a while. I admit that me and my partner have a high expectation of cleanliness but especially the kitchen was kind of disappointing. The kitchen itself is super super nice and we love cooking but it was grease everywhere thats why - besides cutting some fruit in the morning - we didn't use it. The stove was full of grease, the cupboards were dirty and we had to clean the cutlery twice before using.
Overall the place is nice, location is okay for New York (15 min walking to subway, then 30 min subway ride into the city), but cleanliness has definitely been an issue.
