Maria's beautiful top floor apartment welcomed us the moment we stepped through the door, the personal touches like the fresh flowers on the table were delightful. It was a real oasis to return to from the frenetic pace of Manhattan, the generous sized rooms provided plenty of space for all four of us. The eclectic mix of furniture made for a truly personal experience, thanks Maria (and Azul)! Regards David & family

From the minute we arrived at 'The Country and the City' we felt at home in this amazing city. The apartment was cosy and sophisticated, welcoming and everything you could ask for, not to mention a view of Manhattan that will last in my memories forever. Maria and Azul made sure we survived 'the blizzard' and went out of their way to ensure we felt like a local in Williamsburg. I would happily recommend this apartment to anyone and will be returning as soon as I can. Such a wonderful experience and have met some lovely friends as well.

Maria's place in Williamsburg was amazing. Everything is exactly as described and the neighbourhood is so cool and you're so close to everything that it's all you could ask for. Theres so much shopping, so many sights and restaurants and cool bars around Brooklyn that you could stay there for an eternity. It's a short cab ride to Manhattan and the subway is around the corner also. The apartment was exactly as described and represented in the pictures and absolutely everything was catered for. Communication with Maria was very prompt and friendly and thorough and her friend Azul was there to meet us and show us around and he is so friendly and helpful and also very responsive with communication. He gave us some great tips on places to go in the area. They made us feel at home and in our short time there it felt like home. It's hard to leave but we'd gladly stay there again and recommend it to anyone! Thanks so much guys!!!

Lovely cottage style apartment in Brooklyn. This area is super super nice, and hip. We ate ourselves into a coma at Smorgus Burg! Easy commute to Manhattan. Recommend!

Maria's place is ideal for Williamsburg life. It's quirky and cool. The view from the roof terrace is great and fantastic for just sitting and listening to the world go by. We had an immense time whilst staying here and throughly recommend staying here. Fantastic and helpful from start to finish

We had a great stay (too short) at Maria's very cosy apartment. Exactly as described and a short walk from Bedford Ave and the subway. Azul was really helpful and met us as arranged and happy to allow a late check-out because there was no other guest arriving. It suited us perfectly. Only downside I can think of was the construction generators parked outside the front of the building but we were up pretty early and out and about so wasn't a problem and I presume not a permanent fixture.

Maria's apartment in Williamsburg was wonderful. We had a lovely stay here and loved the neighbourhood. The apartment was full of character and had everything that we needed. It is conveniently located near supermarket, restaurants, cafes and subway. Bit of a walk up the stairs - so be prepared! Would stay here again if I find myself back in New York.

The apartment was absolutely fantastic! Everything for the listing was correct but you have to see the view! Surrounding area was great and had plenty to do close by. The river pier is a 3 minute walk away and provides an amazing view of Manhattan. Azul was great helping us get settled in and gave some really good commendations which we tried. Overall you can't beat the location and experience you'll get at this listing!

A well located apartment close to great bars and restaurants with public transport very close (100mtrs). A nice little balcony adjoins the bedroom. Hosts Carol and Marc were very helpful and friendly and even though we needed little help, I'm nothing would have been too much trouble for them. Highly recommend.

This place is the best! We will surely be returning! Lorie/Ashley

What can I say....everything was perfect!!!! Carol and Mark are perfect hosts, not only they know lot of things and give you lot of tips about the city, but they're also wonderful persons! They are very warm and welcomed us as if we already knew! Carol gave us her number so we could (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) her every time we needed to and she was always available!!!! The house is exactly how showed in the pictures, our room was very cosy and the bed soooo comfortable!!!!!!! The bathroom was very clean and spacious, and it was all for us!!! The rest of the house was so nicely furnished, it was nice to sit on the couch and watch the tv all together, especially when the weather was terrible! :)))) The location is very convenient, there's a subway station 5 minutes walking distance from home and chinatown, little Italy, soho, noho, etc are walking distance too! We'll definitely book again if we come back to ny!

Beautiful apartment and neighbourhood! I felt welcomed and at home. Will definitely be visiting again soon. I highly recommend her place- no noise, good privacy, elegant and warm.

We arrived late in New York and was made nothing other than welcome by Carol & Marc. We sat and had a chat about our plans for the stay and felt immediately at home. It is a beautiful apartment in a great location to local bars and restaurants and more than suitable to our needs, we felt like locals. Both Carol & Marc went out of their way to check we had everything we needed (included televised football of the big game in the UK). Would definitely stay again next time we are over. Thanks, Jamie

My husband and I stayed with Marc and Carol for 5 nights and had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Marc was always available but never intrusive and provided us with all the information we needed. The apartment is well located with an overwhelming amount of choices (a happy problem!) when it came to bars and restaurants. The bedroom and bathroom was extremely clean and we woke up well rested and ready to take on Manhattan each morning. We will not hesitate to stay with Carol and Marc again and we highly recommend their lovely L.E.S loft.

Can't recommend this place enough! The room was great, and Mark was a pleasure. Bonus: The location was amazing. So close to some amazing restaurants. We could have spent our whole trip just around the area. We had a wonderful time! Thanks Mark!

Carol and Marc were there to greet us even though we were delayed in our arrival. The elevator opens RIGHT INTO THE LOFT! Love that!!!!! They invited us in and made us feel like friends, right away! Their home is so incredibly beautiful and comfortable. Carol and Marc are so kind and gracious to share their home with weary travelers. We wished we had had a little more time to spend enjoying their hospitality. next time we promise to cook! (I am a chef) We were pretty busy while up for this trip but it was always great to come back to this lovely home. For those who have heard or remember when the lower east side was not the greatest neighborhood, TIMES HAVE CHANGED! This is a cool up and coming community of artists, restaurants and shops. The neighborhood and building feel safe and secure. Thanks again,Carol and Marc. We will see you in the spring!

One of My Best experiences in New York! Great host! Great deal, I felt at home, very clean and comfortable place. Highly recommend Jeff's place.

Jeffrey is hands down the best air bnb host I have ever had. He is a beautiful soul who provides a wonderful, comfortable environment to stay in a not so comfortable city. The location is excellent, close to everything in midtown and multiple subway stops. The room and apartment are fabulous, cozy and quaint, garnished with Jeffrey's colorful, artistic creations which will bring joy to anyone who appreciates art. Jeffrey is extremely helpful, with endless knowledge about the city, and is happy to provide you with food recommendations as well as directions to anywhere. He makes a wonderful breakfast in the morning, and is more than happy to spend time chatting with you about anything over a glass of mint tea. I honestly cannot say enough good things about my experience. If I am ever back in New York, I will definitely be staying here again.

I felt welcomed by Jeffery the entire time I stayed with him. Jeffery was a most gracious host and a very creative and fun person to hang out with. I am grateful I found his artist experience space to be most comfortable.

As this was my first airbnb-experience I didn't exactly know what to expect and I am totally overwhelmed still by Jeffreys friendliness, hepfullness and way of making people feel welcome in his home. I had two absolutely awesome days within his tiny artisty appartment that is located absolutely perfectly, but the best about it has been the host itself! Thank you Jeffrey for all our talks, for the wonderful breakfast and waking up to the smell of delicious coffee! There will be definitely more desert!!!!

The apartment is located in the heart of Manhattan which makes very easy to visit all the things from the tourist guides. Almost everything is in walking distance and the subway is also very close if you want go to the Downtown or to Brooklyn (It took 35 mins for me.) If you you have questions about NYC you can ask Jeffrey who is very helpful. The room is not too big but enough for two persons and clean. Unfortunately the building has no elevator so I don't offer the apartment for small girls with big suitcases without a strong man.

Jeffrey is an artist, and He is very friendly and easy going man. His place is what you see in the pictures. The room has no views, but ok to spend the night. Kitchen looks like a set of a movie!

Just perfect.

In regards to accommodation and location the pictures that are on Jeffrey's site are a perfectly aligned. The home is warm and inviting very much like Jeffrey. Meeting Jeffrey was one of my highlights of this visit to NYC and I very much enjoyed dining together for breakfast where he would surprise me with beautiful exotic teas. I highly recommend Jeffrey and his home to anyone who genuinely enjoys interacting with their host and not just hiding away in their room.

We had a great stay here. The apartment is lovely, very comfortable and in a fantastic location. Katherine was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would love to come back again.

Katherine was very easy to work with. My daughter and I loved her "Sunny Gem" and were very pleased with our stay. Having lived in that area it was nice to feel so at home again!

Best apartment for the essentials including transit, comfort, style, and overall cuteness. Exactly as pictured! Definitely coming back!

A great sunny spot in one of the coolest areas of the city. Get out the building and you'll find whatever you need (and even much more). My first stay in NYC, the first of many! Word.

This apartment is perfect for anyone who wants to experience the city like a New Yorker. The location is perfectly located in the LES, walking distance to amazing bars, restaurants and other neighborhoods. The apartment itself had everything we could have wanted! We would recommend this to anyone.

"A clean well-lighted place." Thank you Katherine for accommodating me in your lovely apparent at a great location. A very comfortable place for a break between business meetings and to sleep. I expect to return. This was my first airbnb experience. I give Katherine and airbnb two thumbs up. PS -The espresso pot was a welcome added bonus. Thank you.

What a lovely apartment. Super comfortable, stylish and convenient. Katherine was great, responsive and thoughtful.

Great place! We couldn't wish for a better location - Katherine's place is just about near everything which was amazing!

We had the best time and the hosts are absolutely the best. Can't recommend this place highly enough!!!

Absolutely fantastic loft in an amazing location! First thing you would say when you get in is "wow!" The loft is bright spacious clean and very dashing. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. This loft was the high light of our trip and we with return in an heartbeat!

Chester and Jon were very welcoming - keeping in regular contact before we arrived and allowing me to drop off baggage and view the apartment before check-in time at 3pm. The location was fantastic with Canal st station a few mins walk away (from here you can catch the subway to everywhere you would want to go). The apartment was exactly as described and exactly what I would expect for the cost. It was exactly as the pictures on the web. We were given 2 sets of keys and this was a times inconvenient as we were 3 girls often not out together. For the price paid, 3 sets of keys would have been good, especially as the buzzer to get in the building was not working- this meant to let someone in you needed to go down and open the front door. Very minor inconvenience. The building is being renovated and as such the noise and banging can be quite loud during the day. I'm sure this will be over soon and while it was bearable a heads up from the hosts would have been useful. Having said that, once I let them know it was really too much to bear they were very apologetic and kept the builders quiet. Making me wish I'd mentioned it earlier as they were very keen to make us as comfortable as possible. I would definitely recommend this place and while we were 3 guests only you could easily have the maximum number stay and be very comfortable.

Jon made us feel very welcome. He was super helpful about explaining the area. The place really looked fantastic. What I especially loved was the SPACE! The square footage is definitely above average and they put it to good use. I'd definitely book again.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment. It was full of light and space with a great kitchen and lovely bathrooms. Very clean... and everything we needed was provided. It made our trip to New York and was the best base imaginable to come back to each day. We would love to stay again when we next come to NYC. A huge thank you to the hosts for making it such a great trip.

In June 2013 two couples from Australia experienced many new things. First trip to the States, first time in NYC, first time in a loft and first time users of airbnb. Jon and Chester were amazing hosts. From the first email exchange to the final embrace, with a slap on the back at the end of our amazing ten day, eight night experience ( yep, an all nighter in there !). Not having a clue on how airbnb worked the guys were helpful, prompt and most patient, With even the most bizarre of questions... “Of cause there are blinds on the windows”. There is no need to iterate the constant theme that runs true to the previous reviews. Great position, facilities, fit out, space, furniture, appliances, ambiance, light and quality. What remains the most lasting impression of our loft experience was not the Miele built in CVA 5060 automatic coffee machine but the incredibly warm and friendly hospitality of Jon and Chester.

What a wonderful apartment! Modern, spacious and in a fantastic part of Manhattan, close to multiple subway stations. Jon was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this apartment.

Chester and Jon's loft in NYC is absolutely stunning. Very spacious, well-located and incredibly comfortable. Check-in was very easy and Jon was a very helpful and hospitable host. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend anyone do the same!

Well-appointed comfortable room in a welcoming hotel in mid town. Very convenient to lots the City has to offer. I stayed for business and was within walking distance of my event location. Wonderfully comfortable bed, hvac/climate controls a little tricky. Overall fantastic value.

Lovely, clean, modern room. Close to everything you need. Easy check in and out. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely, spotless, modern room in a great location. Full hotel services are available. Got a great night's sleep in a midtown location - a minor miracle! Ian is a terrific host.

Perfect :) The apartment is ideally located with many attractions (central park, Rockefeller Centre etc) within walking distance & 2 subway stops nearby. As it's situated within a hotel you also benefit from daily maid service & flexibility with check out (ie you can put your suitcases in a secure room until you have to leave for the airport, giving you extra sightseeing time). Fab host & fantastic place, would highly recommend :)

Ian is a super host for a reason. The place was central, comfortable, and accurate to the description. I would recommend this to anyone and would certainly stay here again.

He was welcoming and professional.

Great location for the value, you're never a walk, subway or cab ride from anywhere

Valet parking made arrival very simple, and then it was just like checking into a hotel. Room and bath were both lovely and clean; the only thing we missed was a second chair (there's just one in the room). And no kitchen facilities. It's essentially a very nice hotel room and bath, in easy walking distance to Fifth Avenue (west) or (east) to the Lexington Ave 59th Street subway stop.

A great private room with a lot of privacy and space. Thank you for the hospitality.

Robert's place was great, although it was shared, it was so quiet! I loved the bathroom light indicator that lets you know when its occupied. The room was exactly as described, loved having the private door to the deck. Great area too, it was my first time in Astoria and I really loved it. Quiet, but still with plenty things to do. So close to the 36 ave train, and a lot of great food places. I went to 2 places he recommended on his list they were SO tasty! I would deff stay here again, I'd love to try his other rooms in the building they look nice.

Nice place to stay. Convenient to downtown by Metro. If we have any question, Robert replies very soon.

Robert is very organized and managed everything even when he was not in the house. It was very comfortable staying at his place. It is so close to metro and does not take much time to get to Manhattan. Thanks Robert for you co-operation, We would love to come back.

Everything worked out very well. The provided instructions made an easy start possible. And Robert is a great guy!

Great stay at a convenient location. Would recommend to anyone looking to visit in the area :)

My friends and I stayed at Robert's place for two nights. We had a great experience there. The room was vibrant and cozy and had everything we needed. I would highly recommend his place to place to others.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Joe was wonderful! He helped us get to our room (didn't have to carry the bags!) and even went so far as to get us the information for tickets to America's got talent. He was available when we had questions and gave us a great deal of helpful information for getting around NYC.

This is my very first airbnb experience and Joe has made it wonderful for me. The room is clean and comfortable. I slept very well. What's more, Joe is so helpful and kind hearted, he communicated with me a few days prior to my arrival,told me how to get to his house and he is so thoughtfully, prepare everything that you may need in the room,like iPhone recharge cable,adapter, and even a sound machine to help you sleep well... Anyway I had a very good stay with the help of Joe

We stayed at Joe's apartment for about a week: bed was comfy, room was clean and Joe was super helpful. Had a great time in Harlem; definitely safer than we had assumed. The apartment is on a main street so there's a bit of noise pollution. Expected the bathroom to be a bit cleaner, but could be the cause of other house guests.

Joe is a 5 star host, nice person and very helpful. Thanks for the plugs and subway map and your tips :) cheers, Anita

Joe was above and beyond as a host. Superb!

i was rush out at 1pm because on website checkout time is flexible it says it i am upset

We had a great stay, very safe and super friendly!

Joe is a wonderful host. He welcomed me very well and do everything to help me I arrived. He is really anxious to make you feel good and confortable in the city. The apartment has a good location and is very convenient to take public transport. I had a good experience.

Great value, host family, and location. Easy access to subway and great store on corner with amazing fruit, health, sandwich, coffee/tea selections: Vitality Health. Rite Aid just 2 blocks away. Hosts extremely helpful when mid-March snow storm set in, giving assistance with what is the norm for the city returning to normal and alternate public transit when flight was changed from LGA to JFK. Both commutes took about one hour, and only $2.75 or $7.75 (using Airtrain), respectively.

Pretty good value.

It was a great experience staying at this place. Dennis and Naoko were great and their son was so cute. Close enough to Manhattan. I really enjoyed my NY trip with my son because of this place. Thank you very much.

Dennis was a very kind host, quick to respond to questions prior to my stay, and ready to assist. He is also very respectful of personal privacy. His home is very comfortable and has all the essentials that one would need for a short trip including a refrigerator, microwave, sink, and even your own front and back door. It's a nice, safe, relatively quiet area with convenient grocery shopping and dining, but easy access to the city as it's less than a block from the subway. Definitely hope to stay again!

I've never done this kind of thing before and I can say that based on this experience I will do it again in the future. The location was excellent to get to Manhattan and quiet in evenings/nights. If we had a question, Dennis was there to help out in a matter of few minutes. I can only recommend.

What a great experiance! Dennis was super nice and respected our privacy. Very comfortable stay with a lovely back yard! Highly recommended if you are staying the Astoria area!

I have just had the most delightful 2-week stay here. Dennis is very warm and friendly and was very helpful with getting me settled. The apartment is very private and clean and I slept well on the comfortable bed. I especially appreciated how close to the subway it was, and how safe I felt walking in the neighbourhood at night. The garden in the backyard is beautiful and the perfect place to have morning coffee before getting out to enjoy the big city. It was a lovely experience and I would highly recommend this rental!

I booked here on behalf of my parents who had never done Air bnb before - I live close by and so I knew that the neighborhood was nice and it would be a nicer and more affordable than a hotel in Astoria. They loved it -- said that check-in was really simple and that the hosts were lovely. They were surprised at how green (in terms of gardens and such) an NYC apartment could be. It's so close to the subway too, and parking was a breeze. I obviously don't need an Astoria bnb because I live close by, but I will try to get my parents there again next time they come visit!

Incredible loft, great location, and a very accommodating host. This 5 star loft was so much fun to stay in for the weekend, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a one of one experience. Beautiful art and plenty of room for the 3 of us!

This property was booked on behalf of my director and his family. They had a wonderful stay in the property, large enough for a family of 7 and in an excellent location.

This loft is as nice and spacious as the pictures suggest: a lovely, luxurious oasis in the heart of lower Manhattan. Owner was responsive, place was immaculate and whole process was pretty seamless. You get what you pay for, in the best possible way.

A simply stunning New York loft. I stayed along with my family & we had such a great experience. The loft is really enormous and the true scale is not appreciated in the photos. We got lost just walking around. The place was sparkling clean and exactly like staying in a top hotel. The housekeeper was so sweet and looked after us so so well. All the rooms looked so gorgeous and all with my favorite brand Molton Brown products galore! We really enjoyed cooking dinner in the lofts kitchen. I've never seen a kitchen like it in New York. Such a treat with everything and a great coffeee machine. The loft is so centrally located and perfect for shopping in Soho. I also enjoyed walking around in the snow in Washington Park which is so close. I would recommend the loft to anyone and will definitely be staying again.

This place is incredible! The pictures do it now justice. This Chic styled loft will definitely take your breathe away. The host was equally as amazing. He communicated well and was extremely accommodating. I wish my stay didn't have to end and I will definitely be revisiting.

Daniel responded to me within a minute after I found out that the place that I had originally reserved was not ready. Not only was Daniel extremely responsive but he was detailed and patient with me. The place was magical. A dream come true. I had family and friends from all over the world meeting in NYC and this was the most perfect place for a big family, friends and children. The house keeper was fantastic and the place was clean, had all the necessities and more. Beds were so comfortable and the bathrooms were superb. Words can not describe how perfect this place is. I will not be staying anywhere else when I visit NYC moving forward.

Luxury all around! As the elevator doors open, you're instantly drawn into an immaculate and truly one of a kind experience. With some of the tallest ceilings in NYC and incredible attention to detail, this apartment is like no other. Daniel was one of the most accommodating and friendly hosts; responding almost instantly to inquiries and any type of question we have. 8 guests fit with plenty (and I mean plenty!) of room to spare. Can't wait to come back to NYC and stay at the Soho Loft again!

Incredible space!!! Daniel was a fantastic host. He was kind, polite, and quick with communication. I highly recommend!

I had a great stay in Joe's flat. Joe is a very warm and welcoming host and I felt at home as soon as I arrived. The flat is clean and you feel like you have your own space. It is really close to two stations that get you to east or west manhattan very quickly. 145th street is a busy street and buzzing at night with all the shops that you might need close by. Will definitely consider staying at this flat again!

Joe is very accommodating. If you need something, Joe probably already has it ready for you, and if he doesn't, he would probably get it for you. He also is very familiar with New York and willing to give any tips for traveling. Location is pretty good, close to the subways. Only complaint was that it was a little noisy in my room due to things going on outside, Joe provides ear plugs, but they fell out while I was sleeping. Everything else was good.

The description of the room was very accurate, and right after I arrived I received every information I needed. However, you should be aware that this place is right in the middle of Harlem, which is not for everyone. Don't be afraid of the locals who might seem a bit shady at first, but they are all nice people. The neighbourhood also offers very cheap food and services (like wash and fold laundry). Bring your industrial strength earplugs, because night traffic can be loud. Joe will help you out in case you forget them home. He isn't a particularly chatty guy, but he answered all my request and always helped me out with information when I was in need. Just don't expect a coachsurfing-like experience and you'll be fine. For me it was surprising that he rents out more rooms in the same apartment, so be ready to bump into strangers while you're there. Cleanliness could be improved, but otherwise I was happy with my stay.

good acceptance and availability of joe. The room had every amenity. the bathroom a little small but for a maximum of 2-3 nights in nyc okay.

The host provided helpful tips on checking out NYC, including discount Broadway musical tickets and a good map of the subways. The accommodations were as advertised.

I spent a few days in New York with a friend on our way back from Arkansas and we stayed at Joe´s apartment. The neighborhood is great and very safe (we would come back very late at night every day during our stay) and Joe gave us great advice to enjoy the city though we would stay for such a short time. The room is exactly what is shown in the pictures. The only handicap is that the building does not have an elevator and the apartment is on the fifth floor...anyway Joe insists on carrying your luggage (poor him!). We had fun!

This is a great place to stay at if you're spending a few days in New York! Very close to the subway and easy to get to downtown Manhattan, has cozy rooms, fast wi-fi and Joe is a very helpful and nice host. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Joe!

Joe is a GREAT host, he's always reliable and makes sure i'm enjoying my stay, check in and check out are easy and i love staying there. Thanks Joe for the great experience!!

Thanks Nancy, I enjoyed my stay very much, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was wonderful. From beginning to end Nancy's hospitality was great. She had site seeing information and maps to get around town. Bus stop and train station were close. Nancy never had a problem explaining which bus or train to take for the quickest route. There is a grocery store and gas station around the corner. I was a single woman traveling alone and I felt safe in the neighborhood.

Nancy is an amazing lady. I spent five days with her in that tiny lovely apartment - this was the most relaxing fall break I've ever had. Nancy really made me feel at home. She speaks softly and is always aware of my needs. We shared our life stories and formed a close bond. I love the breakfast she prepared for me every morning. Also, her dogs are adorable!! I will visit her again if I get the chance to do so in the future. Stay with Nancy if you're coming to NYC!! You're going to have a wonderful experience.

Wonderful host and great spot! Loved our stay

Nancy was a very welcoming and accommodating host. I arrived in New York extremely late and couldn't find the drop box with the keys so she had to let me in and was very gracious about it. The breakfast is very good, but note that this is a 100% vegan household, so most suitable for guests who are on board with that! The bedroom is small and a bit dark, but overall the space is lovely and well suited to a single traveller. East Harlem is about 20 minutes from some of the main tourist attractions, so not right in the heart of it but still very accessible. All in all a nice place to stay.

I have been in NY over the easter weekend 2014 and it has been the best choice to stay at Nancy's for NYC! She ist the nicest and best host you can wish for. The guestroom (and appartement) is clean, quiet and adorable. The location of the flat is pretty close to bus stops for lower manhatten and around. Subway #6 is also just a few blocks away. Nancy enjoys to learn lots about different cultures and languages, be the best host and prepare the most delicious breakfast for you. I really hope I can stay at yours next time again Nancy, I feel really lucky I had the chance to have the ecperience already and I am glad to meet such a wonderful person as you! Wish you the best! Liebe Grüße aus Österreich :-)

Nancy is not JUST a nice. She is a warm, kind, gentle and welcoming humanitarian who made me feel most welcome and like I wasn't a bother to her at all. I have never stayed in a room in someone's home (with a host) and I was very concerned about the dynamic -- with Nancy, no need to worry at all. The room is truly cozy and private and has all a single traveler needs. The home is clean and healthy and the dogs keep to themselves. Good location and in Manhattan -- what more do you need? I am spoiled and didn't want to leave!

It was my first experience with AIRbnb and it could not be better. Nancy is a very warm and delightful host and everything was perfect. I told her that I usually wake up early in the morning, around 7.30 am. However, the apartment was so quiet and peaceful that I slept until 9.30! I also had a great breakfast. It was very easy to reach the apt by bus and metro. I will stay at Nancy's place again for sure in the future!

Nancy is soooo good host!she ushered me in with a warm smile:) go to take the dogs for a wark.I enjoyed chatting with Nancy.that has become a wonderful memory.

The room was as described. Robert is very accommodating and my stay was pleasant.

Very uncomplicated. Easy to find. 20 min to Central Park and good connection to Manhattan. Easy access. Great terrace. Best place to start our 2 weeks roundtrip.

We had a wonderful stay at Robert's! It was a beautiful place, easy access to transportation, with fun local things to do. Robert was very social and helpful, anything that came up he responded to quickly! If you're looking for a tour guide who is always there, and an apartment to yourself, this is not the place. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, trendy place to stay that's convenient with a down to earth host; this is definitely your place. We'd go back in a heartbeat!

Good location!!! Highly recommend

Robert has a lovely place which is ideal for an bed and breakfast. A lot of good facilities and/or oppurtinities are available in this location. The location is in a good neighborhood and the subway is easy to find. Our stay was only for one night and this was good. Some misunderstanding about our arrival time and a locked door were solved by Robert correctly. Thanks for having us Kind regards from Holland Jeroen and Marieke

My boyfriend and I stayed at Robert's apartment and it was really good. The place was exactly like in the pictures. The bed was really confortable. It's really near the 36 av. subway station, only two blocks, so we could come and go anytime. And Robert is a nice guy, knows a lot about the neighbourhood and speaks portuguese. =D

Rob was a great host, everything I needed was there. It was an extremely comfortable place to stay in a great location. Only a few minutes walk to train station, which takes you directly down town. Was my first time to USA from Australia, and will stay at Rob's again in a couple of weeks after I have visited the West Coast.

Great location in Queens, it was comfortable and easy to check in. I would stay there again. The room looked just like the picture.

Christian's family was very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was very clean, towels and linens smelt really fresh, we felt comfortable and safe. The neighborhood is nice, it is mostly residential, and the walk to the subway is not bad at all. Travel time to Manhattan is around 20 to 30 minutes using the subway. There is a small store across the street and free parking on the street is available. The apartment was completely for ourselves, the full kitchen helped us save some money on food. Six people fit in the apartment very comfortably. We would recommend this place to all our friends and family with no doubt!

The listing description is completely accurate. This is a townhome on the corner of Laconia and Allerton Ave. in the Bronx. The beds were comfortable and the apartment well equipped. The queen futon in the living room was more comfortable than most! The kitchen has a new sink and countertops. The bathroom has quaint older fixtures, plenty of hot water for the bathtub shower combo. Street parking was available with no problem. It was very easy to get an uber, green taxi or take public transportation from this location. The neighborhood has many small businesses in addition to being residential. We found a great diner nearby for breakfast. Our hosts were very kind and offered to answer any questions. One of the smoke alarms was beeping and they quickly provided batteries to replace. I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone traveling to NYC and wanting to be away from the high prices and crowds in Manhattan.

We liked the flat, especially the huge comfortable bed and TV, as well as the complementary snacks. The location suited us as we were driving in from the north. It was easy to get into Manhattan and back, but did take quite a long time, because of delays and because repairs meant that the subway was using the local tracks some of the time and. We didn't have much direct contact with the hosts, but they were very professional and helpful by email.

Hey! This place is great! Easy to find and get to - better price and facilities than absolutely everything a reasonable person can find in Manhatten. And a very generous host in Christian. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

This is my second time staying here with my family and dog and as usual the apartment was a great fit for all of us. Comfortable and bus picks up in front of house which makes for a very convenient trip into the city. Highly recommend comfortable stay in the bronx!

We arrived around 6pm and caught Frank getting his mails so that made checking in super easy and quick. He was very nice and welcoming, giving a tour of the house. The house was very nice and clean. We only stay there at night but the accommodations were just superb and made our stay very enjoyable. The location was also very good and easy to find, very easy to get to the train station to downtown. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again in the future.

The house is perfect that we can get everything from it, host is very kind and helpful, he show the every details about the house for us, and the location also convenient!

If you're visiting in the Bronx, this is a comfortable space with easy access to subway (easy 45 minutes to Manhattan) and bus. Not much retail, but a supermarket close by and a not to be missed Italian bakery half a block away.

It was great staying with Danielle. She was super nice and accommodating. The house was clean and everything went smoothly.

Danielle was extremely welcoming and great at communicating. In the end I was unable to stay in her space because of weather and travel considerations but she was extremely helpful and understanding throughout the whole process. Great host!

My friend and I had a lovely stay with Danielle and John, their place was clean and comfy. They provided us with good information on the area and were very pleasant and responsive with communication. We'll definitely be back!

Danielle is a wonderful host and her place is charming and spotless.

The owner explained where everything was in the house and how to use it. I came to pick up the keys and headed back out then came back to sleep a few hours. The room was cozy and I slept like a baby after a long day. Like a home away from home

I didn't get to meet Danielle as she was at work when I arrived & I left early in the am. Communication was great & Danielle's husband was very welcoming. The room is spacious, clean & was as pictured. Bathroom is not attached & is a shared space. It was a 15 minute walk to NJ Penn Station. A great place to stay if in the area.

Dani's home and room were as described in probably the nicest neighborhood in Newark. Her home in the Ironbound is about a 15 min walk to Penn Station, and is also close to Ferry St. which is full of wonderful Brazilian & Portuguese restaurants. The neighborhood is safe to walk in day or night. Dani and her husband were great hosts and the room and bed are very comfortable. The bathroom is also neat and tidy. I plan on returning to her home in the beautiful Ironbound neighborhood.

Very home like convenience

Casper has been a very v friendly and very obliging host. The location of the apartment is great, with everything truly directly just around the corner. The apt is exactly as described.

We arrived after a long 30 hour journey from South Africa and were pleasantly surprised to find a clean, well looked after, spacious apartment with a lot of character. It is only about 750m away from Union Square which has tons of main stores and the main subway. We really enjoyed coming back to the apartment after a long day of touring and shopping. The aircon and WiFi were great as it got very hot in the city in the summer, with the WiFi allowing us to research tours and stay in touch with family back home. There were fresh towels in the bathroom and fresh sheets in the bedroom with the whole apartment being very clean-which is extremely important to us. The neighborhood is great and not too busy or noisy which was great to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas in the city. We really felt like locals with grocery stores in close proximity allowing us to buy food and store in the fridge in the apartment. All in all we would definitely recommend staying at Casper' apartment for your next visit as he was a very attentive host responding very quickly to any questions we had and it's evident that he takes pride in his great apartment. We will definitely stay there again for our next visit :)

We stayed in Casper´s apartment for 10 days and the place was great! The apartment was quiet (especially the bedroom), spacious and clean. It is located in a great spot that is a couple of blocks from Union Square and the local subway was just 3 min walk from the apartment. We would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and next time we're back, we'll be looking to stay with Casper again!

Casper's apartment is just perfect. It is small, but very clean and comfortable. It has everything what you need. The room has big bed and is looking to some other windows but it is really quiet. And Casper was great, very helpful and he was working all day, so we had the apartment almost just for ourselves :) The location is also great, just few blocs away is union square and a lot of nice restaurants.

Casper's appartment is calm, clean and perfect for two persons. It's well situated. Casper is very friendly, helpful and always reachable. We had a great time there!

The apt is located at a very safe area. It's walking distance from Washington Square Park and very close to L line. It's also surrounded by many restaurants. The host is such a wonderful person, giving advices and makes you feel home!

Casper is a perfect host--helpful, responsive, quick to reply to any question or need. The apartment is quiet, clean and comfortable. We stayed for ten days and loved the great bus and subway options offered by nearby Union Square. It is easy to be in and out of Trader Joes when it opens as it is only one block away and Whole Foods offers wonderful food and service. This will be our go to place in New York from now on! Thanks Casper!

Casper wasn't home so his friend Artem hosted us instead. Artem was really kind and provide us with useful travel tips, we really do appreciate it. Also, the room is clean too, though it's a little bit smaller than I thought. But overall, it's a great and convenient place to stay in NY!

William was a great host. He was readily available for anything we needed. His home is located in a historic area, so there are great points of interest everywhere and super close to the metro; which was my lifeline. It was a great place to be.

Will Modeste is very accommodating to his guests. The apartment is located in an area of Harlem that is very convenient to subway stations, activities in Harlem and Manhattan, etc. The apartment was more than I expected. The rooms were nice and clean. The bathroom was also nice and clean. I would recommend this apartment to friends and family. I would stay here again.

The appartment in Harlem is really confortable for 3-4 people. It is also possible to use it with more people but maybe would be a little tiny. We were 4 people and had no space problem at it. It is exactly as described by William, who by the way is a fantastic host. He always helped us with our questions and demands. I would recommend this appartment to everyone. Thank you William!

This is a great place. It's a great value, two separate rooms on your own floor (the second floor) of a Victorian row house. Quiet and comfortable, and the express trains make this a lot closer to downtown than it seems. Very accommodating host. I encountered an issue with key confusion, so I'd recommend sorting out the key situation first thing (two entry doors, two apartment doors, five locks – hilarity ensues!). You can lock yourself out innocently otherwise.

William was an awesome host, very very friendly and knowledgeable about the neighborhood. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, comfortable, and an awesome deal! Would stay again, A+

Will was a great host. He made a point of meeting with us even though he was just getting off of work. His communication with us was great and fluid. His place was clean and very comfortable and there was tons of space which is sometimes hard to find in NY. I would definitely recommend Wills apartment for a stay in NY.

We never did meet with William as well :) Perfect host, good location, nice and clean apartment. Definitely will recommend it to my friends.

I was pleased by how attentive Will was before our stay. He helped answer our questions and was there the day we arrived to hand over the keys. The place was clean and had what we needed. The neighborhood was fine, too, and had an easy route to the subway.

Carrie ist a very friendly host and the apartment ist clean and very comfortable. We felt so good spending our time in New York and also the short distance to the metro ist a good argument. Whenever we come to NY, we`ll come to you Carrie. Best greetings and wishes !!!!

I had a pleasant stay at Carrie's place. The accommodation was as advertised on the airbnb site, and Carrie is a gracious host. She gave me a warm welcome when I arrived and showed me around the apartment. The place was clean and the bed is comfortable. The apartment is located in a peaceful neighborhood. Although it is far from the Manhattan city center, it is easy to go downtown as the Metro station is right around the corner from Carrie's apartment. I will definitely stay here again when I go back to New York. Thank you, Carrie.

The location is near the metro station. The room is big enough for 2.

Appartment is lovely, the room was great. Metro station with express line to the city centre is just a two minute walk! Great location and great appartment. We never met Carrie in person but we made arrangements about everything and she checked in on us over texts to see if everything was ok. Definitely would reccomend Carries place as great accomodation in NYC.

Clean and comfortable. As described. Highly recommended!

Great experience. This was our first Airbnb booking and we'd definitely do it again if they're all as good as this. Carrie was super friendly, very helpful, accommodating, and overall fantastic. The apartment is clean, bright, quiet, and very welcoming. The air conditioning was very nice during the late August nights. The neighborhood was incredible, lively, and completely safe even late at night - ignore what your chatty aunt remembers from the last time she went to NYC twenty years ago.

Carrie's place was very nice and exactly what we pictured. She was helpful about getting on the train and how to use it to get to and from where we anted to go. There was a little bit of communication problems but they got resolved. Would recommend staying here.

I loved my stay at Carrie's. Very nice,clean and private. The area is charming and super close to the train which made everything easier. Carrie was so accommodating and helpful. If I ever find myself in NY again I will definitely look into staying here.
