I couldn't be happier about my stay at Selika's place. Being able to stay there was one of those things that made my visit in NYC a great experience. The appartment is really clean and well-organized. What is more, it offers access to washing machine and tumble dryer, which isn't all that common in New York. I could wash my clothes without having to wonder around the city. The room I stayed in was very cosy and pretty spacious. When I browsed through other AirBnB offers in a similar price range, I usually saw rooms that could only contain a bed and night lamp. Selika's room is a lot more than that. It is well decorated and gives you enough space to feel at home. It is not your claustrophobic average room where you only come back because you need a place to sleep. This place really feels like home and lets you relax after hours of sightseeing. Bed is very comfortable and for someone my size (186 cm) - pretty large. There is a big window with a view on gardens and you can even see some tiny bit of Manhattan skyscrapers in the far. Shared areas were clean and well equipped. Kitchen, bathroom and living room were all kept in great order and cleanliness. Selika's two flatmates, Dan and Hazel, were extremely hospitable, polite and fun to talk to. The neighboorhood is totally safe and quiet. Nobody ever bothered me on my way home, even after dark. There are many cafes, grocery shops and pizza places just one block away. It is pretty close to subway station - only 5-10 min walk to L line station that takes you to Manhattan in no time. First stop on Manhattan is something like 10 min ride, but you really want to get off a little further at Union Station, which would make about 15-20 min ride in total. This is very close and accessible. It's a lot better deal than overpriced and poor accomodation options located in Manhattan. Selika has always been very responsive and caring, always happy to help or answer my questions. Haven't met her personally, but she was easy to contact via phone or the app whenever I needed. Her flatmates, whom I met, were just as friendly and very helpful. I am very happy to have chosen Selika's AirBnB post and I can honestly recommened her as a perfect host.
