So many good things to say about this place it’s hard to know where to start! First, Nina was an amazing host. She is very thorough and detailed which we really appreciated, we felt like we knew everything before even arriving and she was very professional and responsive the entire stay. We would absolutely stay in any of her properties again!
The location of this place is awesome, it was a lovely neighborhood that was far enough away from the city to be a nice and quiet home base but close enough to a subway station to be accessible to anything you’d want to do in NYC. We loved all the nearby restaurants, cafes, and stores as well as being close to the park. Of course you’re going to get some noise, it is a city, but we were pleasantly surprised, even being close to a hospital we didn’t have any complaints.
The apartment itself is very well maintained and clean, while also very homey and inviting. We were so pleasantly surprised, some rentals have cheap feeling sheets, uncomfy couches and beds and very bare-minimum, but not this one! We were very impressed with everything, the bed was so so comfortable, pillows were plenty and plush, sheets were very soft, and the decor was definitely not from Amazon, it is all so unique and it makes it so much more interesting. You can tell Nina put work into the decor of this place and we really noticed and appreciated it so much.
We do have to mention the stairs as it is a bit of a hike, however my partner and I are active 20-something’s who packed light so it really wasn’t an issue for us. But Nina will make sure you feel comfortable with this before booking, along with the claw foot tub which is also a step up. Again, we had no issues, but it’s definitely not something to overlook when considering this place!
It really felt like home away from home! We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need as well as ice trays and a brita pitcher in the fridge which were so nice to have. The tv had access to streaming services and the wifi was fast and we didn’t experience any issues with it. It’s also worth noting that it was very clean, which was appreciated.
I could go on and on about this place but overall we had a very pleasant experience, absolutely 5 stars all around. My advice to anyone staying here is to carefully read Nina’s detailed instructions, she will tell you everything you need to know like how to work the shower, and this really made our stay go smoothly. She is also very responsive and friendly to help with anything you need. We 100% recommend this place!
