We enjoyed our stay in Yves' place. Yves is very helpful and nice. He showed us around the community and took us to a place for yummy Jamaica food. We like the neighbourhood as people are very nice and helpful in the community. They go a long way to help. The streets might be a bit untidy but are very safe. We went back late one night and felt safe to walk around in the area. Yves' place is a very good base for us to explore New York with subway in walking distance. Although it's a shared place but the girl who stayed in the other room was very quiet and left for work very early. It is a lovely cottage with parking with is very handy for us. The room itself is small after filling in with two big beds but the beds are comfy. Shower was good with soap and shampoo provided in a basket in the room. Kitchen is a full- size and you get everything you need to cook. Only that the air-conditioning was a bit noisy so we gave up using it the other nights and felt a bit hot while sleeping. Yves was great helped me printed out an urgent document and I couldn't thank him enough for this.
The experience we had with Yves and in the community is priceless. We got to see the local community which a hotel cannot offer you.
