Carla's home was by far the best Airbnb location I have visited--and she is the kindest and most exceptional host! Carla and her husband made me feel like a welcome friend in their impeccable home; I felt embraced. The room itself is ideal: elegantly decorated, spacious and quiet, with every conceivable need anticipated. They have provided a desk, with a desk lamp, a very comfortable desk chair, window AC, a TV with Netflix and Hulu, fruits, healthy snacks, and even a coffee maker and an electric kettle.
The twin bed is supremely comfortable; indeed comfier than my own bed at home. The linens are white and pristine, so it was like sleeping in a cloud--the most restorative night's sleep I have enjoyed in any Airbnb. The bedroom is also immediately to the right of the front door, and right next to the bedroom, so both are conveniently independent of the rest of the home. Carla even installed a baby gate at the end of the hall to prevent her sweet dog Ella from visiting her guests. (I would have welcomed such visits, but it was yet another considerate gesture from Carla toward her guests.)
Every detail of the accommodations was exquisite, from the fine linens, down to the soft sanitary paper in the bathroom. The bedroom and the bathroom were absolutely spotless and well supplied with everything an overnight guest might need--even a selection of towels in several sizes. In the morning, Carla left a plate with fresh croissant to complement the coffee and fruits already in the room. She also texted to make sure I was safe when I arrived a bit later than expected the second night. Her building is in a lively diverse neighborhood, a mere 3-4 blocks from the #1 train, and surrounded by fantastic Dominican cafeterias, a large grocery store (C-Town) and a drug store (Duane Reade).
Carla and her husband are warm, lovely hosts who will chat if you feel like it and will respect your privacy if you prefer to rest quietly in the peaceful sanctuary you will find in their guest room after a busy day in the city. I cannot say enough about how delightful it was to meet such splendid hosts and to spend two calm nights in their heavenly home.
