Mchael’s space was incredible to be in. From the moment I stepped outside of the house, I was greeted with tall bamboo, warm light and smiles!
Mchael was helping another airbnb on their way out with their luggage and also checked in with me. From this moment, I immediately saw the level of care and respect for folks who were staying, not only during but after their stay. After he made sure the other Airbnber was good to go, he greeted me again and helped me with my luggage up the stairs.
Instantly the smell of warm vanilla incense filled my nostrils and warmed my spirit. I saw the layout of the space and honestly it looked even better than the already amazing pictures. Everything that was listed on the listing was there and then more. The space was clean, linens, sheets, towels fresh. Beautiful Black art and mirrors carefully curated and decorated the space. There were multiple books focused on Basquiat, Saba, Hip-Hop, and more. It made me feel welcomed immediately and excited to engage with the space.
The bedroom itself was a nice size! The fleece blanket is super warm and marshmallow soft. The bed was so comfortable, it made me excited to jump in it especially after a long ride and days of packing. The room was well organized and decorated.
The bathroom was super cute and had a deep tub with a wooden organizer for a warm bath with candles. The bathroom was well stocked with toilet paper to q tips to body wash (If I listed everything it would take me a while).
The kitchen was gorgeous, marble kitchenette, filtered water. Everywhere I looked there was a kitchen or cooking appliance, perfect for people who cook and chef it up for themselves or their guests. The couch was extremely comfortable and the space was well ventilated with AC and windows open. Huge bonus was the printer in space.
The location was great and the train was nearby! Also located in a beautiful community which was what I was looking for. Mchael was super helpful and located downstairs if I or my roommate needed support. I heard him helping them with directions and he checked in with me multiple times without being overbearing.
Mchael and Raheem’s communication was quick, speedy, accommodating and to the point. I missed my bus and Mchael told me not to stress. These points of hospitality, care, creativity, and beauty in the space has me excited to book again. I left early due to having to find long term housing and Mchael checked in to see if everything was okay and also affirmed me on my journey. It’s very clear to me the amount of love, details and respect that Mchael and Raheem invested in the space, people and overall energy. Thank you all so much for this beautiful stay.
