Meeting Luana is like meeting your favorite aunty. She is so friendly, bubbly, and always offering a quick nourishment item: a cup of soup, eggs, tea, coffee, etc. I chose Luana's unit because of the hight score and I intended to explore the northern area of the Bronx.
The room you'll get will be well stocked with bottles of water in a fridge. It's almost the end of summer as I write this and I probably went through 12+ bottles of water for a 4 night stay. I didn't think I would have drunk that much water.
The building is a walk up so for those that must travel with a 70 pound (32 kg) luggage you may want to rethink about booking here.
Luana deserves the high scores she gets. Everything was as described correctly in the Airbnb overview.
There are eateries and a grocery store nearby so grabbing a fast meal or stocking up on needed items shouldn't be a problem. There are at least 2 laundromats nearby.
There are 2 cons I can note:
1. The distance from the 4 train stop is walkable. It's the end of summer as I write this so I wouldn't want to take a 15 minute walk with luggage in tow. Luckily there are some buses that stop nearby Luana's place which also makes it very convenient to travel to and from the 4 train stop.
2. Luana's unit has wood paneling for the floor so it squeaks in certain places.
