MOST CARING HOST (COUSIN MYLES)
It was a family reunion of parents and two daughters who were meeting after 18 months due to the pandemic and it turned out to be the best experience solely due to Cousin Myles. He was in touch well ahead of our visit and ensured that every need was taken care of right down to the Indian spices that we used to prepare Indian curries in his generously appointed kitchen. He bought a full set of new kitchen utensils when I had only enquired about a skillet. Even though the place is a basement we never felt uncomfortable as almost every material comfort was already made available starting with the most comfortable mattresses and strong Wifi and about 300 channels on TV plus Netflix, Plenty of towels and even Shampoos, Medicine box, Coffee, Tea machine, toaster and a 5 burner GE stove with two ovens. He even ensured we had a full cookie jar which he happily asked us to consume. He happily took our garbage out and changed the bed sheets and got a full blown professional cleaning done during our stay for a month. He ensured we had a steady supply of the most lovely and best smelling bath towels throughout our stay and even offered to get our personal clothes laundered which showed to us how much he cared for us. He offered us tips on what to visit and where to go to see the 4th of July fireworks. He offered to take us out for retail therapy as he calls it and for lunch a day before we left but we could not take up these kind offers due to the fact that he was already spending more than what any host would even consider spending on his guests. Like other reviews here Cousin Myles picked and dropped us back at JFK airport even waiting for more than 1 hour on our arrival. His care extended to enquiring regularly about our whereabouts so we are never lost or in trouble. The apartment is his personal pride and it shows through in how well he maintains it. He requested for feedback on what needs to be improved or addressed of which there were none. Before the visit I was a bit concerned about the bathroom since we are 4 adults but the concerns blew away and by the end of the full one month the family is still talking about how this was not an issue at all.
Cousin Myles is genuine in his desire to provide a wholesome experience to his guests. He is already a Superhost but clearly he takes extreme pride in wanting to be a family member too. Being extremely knowledgeable he shares his knowledge and humour with each and every family member to make sure that each person is comfortable and happy. This was our first Airbnb experience anywhere and Cousin Myles has set such a high benchmark that it is going to be impossible to have this quality of experience anywhere anytime else. The proof of the pudding is in the eating so we are looking forward to staying at Cousin Myles's home in the future (hopefully we have a second visit to NYC). Not just Airbnb but in these troubled times of the pandemic, the world is much better off having kind souls like Cousin Myles.
Cousin Myles you are the best cousin and host ever and I hope you will make a trip to our home in Singapore because we wish to be a host like you are. God Bless You.
