Douglas met us exactly on time when we arrived at 3.00pm on a Sunday afternoon. He and especially his father were very friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions and nothing was too small for them to help us with.

We felt very much at ease, in a part of New York that was completely new to us, and advice was given freely and as needed.

This part of the Bronx is a busy residential mixed racial urban inner city district. We felt fairly safe after dark, walking to the subway at Prospect Avenue, which is just two blocks away.

This is a working family home, and the Airbnb accommodation is in the basement of the house. It is functional and in a good location. For a basement floor just 25 minutes from Times Square, this is a great place to commute in from.

There is still some minor building work to be completed on the property, which was only bought by the family under a year ago, but this was not intrusive for us.

It was warm in the basement, even when it was cold outside...but the large boiler system was noisy at night, turning on and off every 5 minutes or so. Perhaps the boiler room needs to be better sound proofed? A Carbon monoxide monitor was added during our stay.

LED lights were added to the basement front porch for night vision on the steps down to the flat.

A new glass rear door is being fitted to the basement to give access into the rear garden area.

The floor plan is a little cluttered, and could perhaps be reworked, to give easier access and more space...but six people could be accommodated here, at a real squeeze, but with little privacy!

We would definitely recommend 992 Tinton Avenue to others, and we would come there again, in the future.

Thank you Douglas, Michelle and Tom.
