In my honest opinion and this review is for people to understand what my experience was like at Sonya’s place. My hope is she will take this constructive criticism and use it to make others stay more enjoyable and A little less stressful. First, if you’re looking for an entire place to yourself this is not it. Yes there is a separate entrance, but the owner controls your temperature( you are not in control), yes she asks that you let her know how you need your temperature adjusted, but during my stay I was asked if I wish sure I needed the A/C(option leave the windows open). The one day we did leave it open because the temperature cooled down ants were all over the window seal and crawling down the wall in the small bedroom. I was also asked if I could let her know when I would be gone for the day(I assume all these requests were for her to save money on her electric bill) so she can adjust the temperature. I felt very uncomfortable in letting her know that I needed the temperature adjusted and as a paying customer you shouldn’t have to feel that way. We talked about parking before our arrival and the way I understood it to be is, we would work parking out if there was no where to park. The very first night she left for the evening to go out. There was no other parking and the gate was open when we arrived after an evening out and we thought we seen her car parked across the street( big mistake for us thinking she left the parking open for us). Instead of her parking at the gate behind us, she called and woke me up at 2am to move our vehicle( we felt she could’ve park at the gate behind us and waited till daylight hours to communicate with us what she meant by “working out the parking situation.” Also, we had to deal with all the different smells coming from her apartment thru the vents where we stayed upstairs (not because we live in Colorado are we comfortable with the use and smell of cannabis). I was highly offended that someone doing this for a business would think this was okay to do while we were staying there. Lastly, if you’re looking for peace and quite count this place out. Sonya’s place is right in the flight path of arrivals and departures at jfk airport. It was loud and noisy all day and all throughout the night. On a good note Sonya’s place was very clean and looks just as the pictures are posted on the website.
Sincerely,
The customer
