Staying at Patricia’s and Cherisse’s’ home was such a pleasure.
Their home was warm and inviting. It felt like a beautiful art gallery with artwork everywhere. The space is always well kept and very clean. It was really nice to come back to the peace and quiet of the house after a busy day at work. I was studying for an exam, and they respected the time I needed to study.
This was my first visit to the United States and New York City, They recommended places to visit and showed me New York from their perspective. I wouldn't have had it any other way! It was a pleasant cultural experience. Both are very smart, and openly shared their worldly knowledge. I learned a lot from them, especially about bread, wine, cheese, and fashion as they also enjoyed learning about my culture and the medical field, over coffee or a meal.
It was a delight when I got to enjoy some of Cherisse’s gourmet dishes. Because her food quality was top notch, I don't think I can go back to eating just any other guacamole or cream of asparagus soup.
The neighborhood is lovely, and very safe. It includes lots of stores and restaurants. It is a 5 minute walk from the 36th street subway and Industry City; a great place to have lunch , or just grab a beer / coffee and get some work done. Please make sure to check it out!
Since my stay was very long, almost a month, we started coexisting almost like family. They are very straightforward with the way they want their place to be treated, which is refreshing, because there are no negative vibes. The towels are of top quality, and are regularly changed. When I got home, my bed was always made. The bathroom and the kitchen were always clean and tidy. I have never experienced living with cats before, and I found the cats to be spectacular and friendly. By the end of my stay, I even ended up finding my cat soulmate!
In conclusion, this was definitely the best Airbnb I have stayed at.
Note : A piece of advice for anyone booking to stay here in the future. Kindly inform them of the reason for your visit, and of any unusual items you'll be bringing. Also, make sure you read their house rules thoroughly. I have seen firsthand the kind of effort they put in before a new guest arrives, so please be considerate and mindful by respecting their home.
