Isabel's place is extremely convenient to visiting Manhattan. just a short train ride away from midtown and downtown! the check in process was also very easy and extremely convenient. Also the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
We were out in the city most of the time so we had limited interaction with Isabel but she seemed very nice and welcoming!
I don't think the house manual mentions the number of potential neighbors you would have in the shared space but we were thrown off a bit when we saw someone sleeping in a bed in the kitchen. So in summary there are 3 beds in the space, the lofted bed (which we stayed in) the living room/hallway bed, and the kitchen bed. both the living room and kitchen bed folds into the wall so it's out of the way. I am noting this because i did not think it was clear enough in the house manual. The extra guest we saw didn't bother us, just surprised us.
The bathroom does not have that much space though in our opinion. Above the toilet is a cabinet which can fit only 2-3 folded towels worth of space. The nice thing was that we never had an issue with accessing the bathroom and the shower has great pressure!
I recommend bringing clips of some sort to clip the curtains in the room together. Without the clips, the curtains have cracks between them where people in the other room can look inside as you're changing, etc.
We did have a neighbor who snored one night so keep in mind if you cannot tolerate snoring and/or you are a strong snorer, maybe this isn't the place for you so keep that in mind.
The subway entrance is on 103st and services lines A and C. This is super convenient for traveling to Manhattan. It is also just around the corner from the Airbnb.
Overall, i think Isabel's was a great priced and convenient place for visiting New York. I do think that the house manual needs some updating to reflect the current status of the Airbnb. Also as of writing this review, Aug 4, 2021, with the rise of COVID-19 cases, I think that reducing the number of guests inside can help reduce potential exposure to COVID-19 from guests who are continuously coming and going.
