I stayed for 10 nights with Jamie and her partner. Both were welcoming and helpful with suggestions for during my stay.

The accommodation was basically as described. It is very dark though as it is in the basement area - so no natural light or a view out. I did not use the back yard while I was there. It is super convenient to get to the subway, with good connections to Manhattan.

Communication during booking and to answer questions was good. They were away when I arrived, but I received all the necessary information beforehand by email. Even when I had difficulty with the door, I got a prompt text reply to help me out. Jaime and her partner also were accommodating for a late check out time, to get a night flight.

There is another room they rent out, so there were other people saying for some nights. But, this was not an issue.

They have a friendly cat & I enjoyed my stay.
