Nazeer and Aissa were very communicative, very accommodating hosts. Our trip started during the tail end of Ida that hit NY and caused major flooding in the area. we were fine and Nazeer was very communicative throughout the whole ordeal. 10/10 attentiveness and service.
For the house itself, just note that it has some narrow stairs. if you're disabled or are bringing a heavy suitcase, it can be a challenge to go up or down. Otherwise it was neat and clean. abundance of streaming services were a plus.
The area was very conveniently close to the metro. It's the Bronx however. The camera features at the house made us feel safe. We knew what kind of neighborhood it was going to be. We had no issues going to the corner store multiple times throughout our trip or walking to the Dunkin .5 miles away. this was all during the day.
overall, a perfect choice for budget minded travelers who don't mind true city living a little further from the hustle and bustle of manhattan. super friendly, very kind hosts. I'd stay here again!
