Loved everything & every second of my stay!

The room is exactly as described and pictured in the photos: long and wide, good natural lighting, a super comfortable bed, a good size closet, a couple of tables, and a small bathroom with a great shower!

The living room on the main floor of the house connects to the unit via a set of very steep stairs. This detail combined with Zaneib rarely being at home (or she's just really really quiet!) and also the fact that the unit has its own door provides guests with all the privacy they could ask for. To me that's a HUGE plus as it allows complete freedom in the come and go throughout the day and/or night.

I found the neighbourhood to be fascinating and with lots of options for all kinds of amazing food within a few minutes walk. Also, two subway stations are located nearby and can be reached by a short walk (roughly ten minutes). Not once during my stay and walk at different hours of day and night did I feel unsafe or nervous in the neighbourhood. However, with that said, like in any other big metropolis it's always good to be aware of your surroundings. :)

With all of the above said, I wanted to note that this is my first experience with an AirBnB booking and thanks in big part to Zaineb's graciousness I'll probably become a regular user of the site. Zaineb was always very attentive, from the very first exchange of messages, passing through the welcome upon our late night arrival, the conversation during the first morning, and the constant touching base via text to ensure that everything was ok. She pays a lot of attention to small details in the unit, such as having hangers in the closet, a water bottle with glasses, clean towels, and even toiletries! This is only a small sample of things she does to make one feel welcome and at home. :)

I was considering not writing a review out of pure selfishness as I wanted to keep this place and Zaineb as a "secret", so that would make my life easier for any future NY trips! However, I know it wouldn't be nice of me and I also know that it's simply a matter of time before guests need to start putting their names on a waiting list to stay here. :)

I'm extremely happy to have found this place and very thankful to Zaineb for an unforgettable experience.

Thank you!
