NYC Long Term Rentals

A very nice apartment, beautifully appointed rooms. Nice location near the Metro station. Easy to reqch from JFK Airport.

Spotlessly maintained rooms. Has all required amenities in the kitchen if you feel like cooking a meal, cup of tea or coffee.

Natalie is a great host and was kind enough to allow a late check out free of cost.

Walking distance from the beach. Has a few decent restaurants nearby.

Great option for those travelling via JFK Airport as the metro connects the Airport train.

This is not a bed and breakfast in the traditional sense. This is a couple Air B&Bing their adjacent townhomes which is fine if that's what you were expecting.

I will say the place was clean and comfortable.

First off the GPS takes you to the front entrance of the community which made me think we got scammed. I called Natalia and she offered no help finding her place.

When we finally navigated into the community we parked and walked up to the front door. We walked up a set of interior stairs and interrupted an elderly couple's dinner!! We apologized profusely as the couple screamed at us. They said we weren't the first to make that mistake (...lock your doors???) and showed us to the entrance on the side of the house. There was no sign or anything indicating this was the B&B. Turns out we walked into the owner's apartment.

The staff that greeted us was rude and treated us like an inconvenience. She was unprofessional and acted like we didn't have a reservation because of the confusing spreadsheets they leave around with your information on it. She showed us to the room and gave us an attitude when we asked for a second towel. By the next morning they still hadn't brought us another towel even after asking again so I took it out of a linen closet.

My husband and I stayed here for our first anniversary. I purposely reserved the bedroom we chose because the website made it look like the only room with a private bathroom. That was not the case and we shared the bathroom with another room.

Despite being new, post-Sandy construction the house was cheaply made. Our bedroom shared a wall with another bedroom. Both bedrooms had TVs mounted to the wall and we could hear the other TV blaring all night long.

They advertised a continental breakfast and hot coffee. The next morning the coffee was left over from the night before. No milk or creamer to be found. Breakfast was Costco muffins (some moldy) and cookies.

On our way into the city I asked if they could print our theater tickets. The staff stood next to a printer and computer and told me no. I offered to pay. Still no.

They are located on the Subway but a confusing part of the line even for someone who grew up in the city and offered no help navigating the system. You can easily take the wrong A train and be lost for hours.

There was no staff to be found when we left so there was no check out. I left our parking pass and key on the spreadsheets of patrons and left.

That afternoon I got a call from the husband accusing me of theft and he insisted we didn't leave the items. I then got a similarly accusing email from the wife even after explaining things to the husband and she threatened to report me to the NYPD.

A nice perk was the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. The bedding felt luxurious.

As an AirB&B this would be fine but not what we had in mind for a romantic weekend. Everything about this experience was misleading.
