Our group consisted of 5 women in the city for a family bridal shower. This unit met our needs perfectly. The beds were all very comfortable, plentiful hot water, and a cool long dining table to eat together or just sit around and chat. We had everything we needed and access to transportation nearby. Our one request for extra towels was satisfied extremely quickly (within 5 minutes). We highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again.
The communal living spaces on the first floor were spacious. We would have breakfast together as a family in the morning. All the A/Cs worked which was key for these very warm and humid days. Upstairs, the beds were comfortable. Yes, some of the finishes are older, but I've lived in NY before and know that it's also part of the charm. For the price for our group of 7, it was a great deal. The place was nice and close to the subway. Delis near by were great for sandwiches in a pinch. We also got dinner from John Brown BBQ a block away which was delicious. Host was very kind and left us amend our reservation and issued a refund.
Comfortable and spacious. Well equipped kitchen, good washing machine and dryer. The picture of the inside is misleading in that it is very.dark on the ground floor. No information on local facilities like shops. But for a large family it has lots of space and is convientiently located.dark insideVery close to subway
I was in Queens for my daughter's wedding and wanted to be able to host a dinner and a brunch for our family and her new husband's family. This space was perfect for that. Lots of space to hang out in, two bathrooms, laundry and a functioning kitchen. . . all of which are so hard to find in NYC. Plus the host was helpful and kind. This is a gem if you want to host a lot of people in the city.
Location is super close to Manhattan/Astoria, 15-20 mins. Accessible to all the subways. Very safe to walk home after midnight. Plenty of places to eat within 5-10 mins walk. House is spacious and has old school charm. Host was very responsive and thoughtful, couldn’t have picked a better place.
Everything was just ok. The property was spacious and had really nice bones. However there was an odor, the skylight had cobwebs that had clearly been there for quite some time. There were no washcloths at all, though Xavier ended up bringing us some after I asked. There were some welcome snacks so that was nice. I think the most notable thing was that Xavier was a bit curt, bordering on rude, during our text interactions. For instance, when I asked “ Thank you! Where is best to park?” His response was, “Look outside the house.” I had to follow up with more questions and generally his affect via text did not meet an impressive level of hospitality. In general it felt as though the property manager affect is that because it’s centrally located and spacious they didn’t have to put as much effort into hosting well. They did help us out by taking a nice group photo of us before we left, which I appreciated.
My husband and I stayed at this house during our wedding weekend with some friends and family. The house was huge — much bigger than expected in New York. We never felt like it was cramped or that we were on top of each other, with ample space for 7 people. Everything was clean and the house felt secure and safe, and it was a bonus that it’s in a walkable location with quick access to trains and restaurants. The host was quick to respond to messages and very helpful. The only feedback I have is to double check that the correct check-in instructions are sent since we were originally given the wrong door code and WiFi information. It wasn’t a problem since the host responded with updated info immediately. A very pleasant stay overall!
This was an excelling location. So if that’s your priority it’s perfect. It was also clean. However, there were issues with the Wi-Fi the entire time as well as the power going out. There were no extra linens or blankets and minimal towels. The couches were very old and in very poor condition making it hard to sit and relax in the front room. There was also construction going on in the basement property most every day we were there. We were not notified prior to the visit that there would be construction in the home and it was loud and disruptive. I felt like that is something you should lets guests know before they arrive.
