My husband and I are currently long distance. He’s a Marine stationed in North Carolina. Whenever he comes to visit, we get an Airbnb and the Taft’s has been by far our favorite.
HOSTS:
Extremely accommodating and always responded faster than any host I’ve dealt with on Airbnb. Extremely nice and helpful with all the questions I had, like if cooking was allowed and if they had a hair dryer (yes and yes, btw).
LOCATION:
Fantastic location. About a 20min walk to the 6 train or you can take the Bx27 (if I remember correctly) to the 6 and you can pretty much take that all over Manhattan. Very convenient if you want to stay in Manhattan without paying $200 a night for a private apartment.
APARTMENT:
Adorable. The decor is very homey and warm. Like most places in NY, there’s no central air, but they did have an air conditioner that cooled the place down extremely well. We only needed it for an hour before we turned it off and the place stayed cool the whole time. There’s a twin in the bedroom and the living room has a couch that folds out into a full sized bed. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, body wash (all three Dove brand), hand soap, a blow dryer and clothing iron. The kitchen has pots and pans as well as basic spices, and the refrigerator was stocked with bottles of water, and two ice trays in the freezer. If you’re looking for the ironing board, it’s next to the refrigerator. Lastly, there’s free WiFi as well as cable TV, and even parking in the backyard.
OVERALL:
It was an amazing experience and probably the best I’ve had so far on Airbnb. You really won’t regret staying here,
