Asad’s place was in a very accessible location in Queens. Easy to access the bus, groceries, and airport. The host communicated very well and was always responsive and proactive on fixing any issues.
However, there were some set backs. 1. There was always a distinct smell upon entering the apartment, similar to oil or cigarettes even though there is a no smoking policy. Opening the windows+ air freshener works but it returns the next day. A caution if you are sensitive to smells. 2. Some items and services that were said to be provided in the listing were not there or prepared for. However, some of these issues were fixed when communicated. 3. The pictures seem a bit bigger then the actual space provided. Not quite comfortable for average/taller people as people kept hitting their heads on the slanted ceilings.
Overall, we still had a lovely stay and the place grows on you after a while.
