Great host. We were very happy.

The check-in process was very quick and easy, and I was able to settle myself in less than an hour. The place is full of beautiful antique furniture, and there are several amenities for you ready to be used. The host was very communicative and responsive and I really appreciate that. My only complaints would be that the place is cold and the heater wouldn't turn on.

We were visiting NYC and found this a super convenient place go stay with easy access to transit - a short walk to the HBLR. Lots of little coffee shops and cafes a block away! Owner is super responsive to anything you need.

I had asked if I could check in early or at least drop off my luggage so I could enjoy my day. I was told I could and we made arrangements for this. Yet, when I got there it was locked and no one was around. She did not respond to any of my texts, until after the original check in time. Her daughter arrived 30 min. later. I would have been much more helpful to have just said, no early check in. Instead it ruined my whole day. Cleanliness was par. The most glaring was the 5 black, larger than a sesame seed, things in the microwave. A sock on the front step. I would not sleep in that second bedroom, I took a look at the mattress, and it looked old and was only covered with a flimsy sheet. The other bedroom was better. No coffee machine, I don't count a little expresso machine, a coffee maker. I will stop here. The neighborhood, I think is safe, but it definitely has some unkept properties, but really I think it is a fine working class neighborhood. I would come back at night when it was dark by myself,and was vigilant, but I felt relatively safe. I am a female by myself. I wish I could give a better review, but it didn't start well, and I was not terribly impressed.
