I stayed for 2 weeks here.
1) Host - This place is taken care of mostly by Valentina's sister Maria. Check in was a breeze. She was always a text message away if you wanted to contact her. In my whole stay I would've seen her like 4-5 times at max. She was always there to help. All in all, a wonderful host.
2) Location - The place is 30 mins away from JFK and should cost you anywhere between 35$ - 40$ to get there via cab (don't book an Uber, use the yellow cab outside). It is around 50 mins from Newark Liberty International. It cost me 115$ to get there. The place is in a very good locality. Silent during nights to get a good night's sleep. It is primarily dominated by Greek restaurants but there's plenty of other cuisines as well. The subway is literally 5 mins walk from the place and since it is the origin station, the trains are almost always empty. The ride to Manhattan takes 20 mins via the N train/W train. There's a pharmacy and plenty of grocery stores as well. Never felt unsafe even for a second.
3) The Room - It is exactly as seen and described. The bed is cozy, the wardrobe has plenty of place for a month's storage, the desk was very useful and filled with magazines to help you explore NY. Also included were earphone covers and earplugs. There's a small TV with complimentary Netflix and other streaming services. The sheets and towels were clean. There's a mini fridge and a stand light which'll be useful if you like to read on your bed. The door is secured by a number pad lock whose number will be disclosed to you (And written on the handle). There's a mini dust bin and a small digital weighing machine.
4) The Hall & Kitchen - Again, exactly as seen in the pics. The hall was clean and the kitchen was very well kept. I'm not much of a cook. I only used the kitchen to get water and in my whole stay I used the kitchen once. The shelves were stacked with items so I don't think you'll have a problem with anything being deficit. The couch is comfortable if you want to take a quick nap too!
5) Bathroom - It was a hygienic and clean restroom. There's a bathtub and utilities (shampoo, earbuds etc) stacked so you're covered even if you forget to get any of em. Both hot and cold water run at any time of the day. The bin in the bathroom was regularly emptied.
Some areas where I believe there were room for improvements -
1) The central heating in the room had some issues but it was kind of solved within a day. It also made noises when active (the earplugs helped). If you are visiting during summer this shouldn't be a hindrance.
2) There's a big pipe running in the toilet close to the wall in the middle that is incredibly hot in the morning (in case you accidentally touch it).
3) The plug sockets in the place were pretty difficult to use as they were old.
4) The apartment is located in the 5th floor (Top most). So you if you have heavy baggage it'll be difficult to carry. But, this also results in good views of the city from the room's window.
However, none of these were deal breakers.
This was literally my first time in the USA and first time using AirBnB. I couldn't have asked for a better host or gotten a better place to stay in. Even as a first timer I felt comfortable and safe and the whole stay was a breeze. 9/10 would recommend.
