The host was very accommodating & very nice. The area & home were lovely, very safe, excellent location. The room was clean, but the bathroom was a bit dated. We had additional A/C which was very nice & convenient. The host left perfect instructions! Overall a very good experience, we would definitely return
The host was amazing and made my parents very comfortable. It was easy to find, thorough information and a lovely space. We really liked the outside patio area.
Guy is a responsive host who has everything all set up for a wonderful stay. The studio its exactly as described and is beautifully clean and comfortable. We hope to stay again.
Guy was a great host. The location was perfect to be able to explore Long Island and also get to the city easily. The neighborhood was safe and a perfect place walk our small dog. Would 100% book again!
The quality of the property and my overall stay was perfect in everyway. It truly felt like a home away from home. The convenience of the location, suite size, privacy, upkeep & decor, and the beauty of the host's garden exceeded my expectations.

The property is VERY clear and the JFK airport is nearby, nice and safe community and I enjoy my time there the experience was great . I would recommend it to everyone who want to stay in that area.
Exactly as advertised: sunny, secluded, private entrance. Quiet neighborhood but very near parkway. The private patio was a nice bonus. Host reserved a parking spot with a traffic cone so parking wasn't an issue. Highly recommend.
It was a perfect space, exactly what we needed. I only wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the adorable outside patio!
Guy was a fantastic host - stayed in touch the entire time, and was completely accommodating and helpful. 10/10 would recommend this gem to anyone looking for a nice place to stay on the island.
comfortable little studio with outdoor patio. lovely quiet neighborhood close to gorgeous south shore beaches. good communication with Guy.
we enjoyed.
Guy is a very nice host, very accommodating and responsive. The apartment was clean and had all the essential items for a short stay. The location is very convenient close to the major highway. Nice neighborhood. All the amenities were in a working condition, the bed is comfortable. I would stay there again and would recommend.
This area is just far enough away from the bustle of BK/Queens/NYC, but close enough to get to everything. LIRR has improved since I left. Guy's studio is neat, and must be very cozy in the summer (I was there in early spring). The neighborhood is quite and there is plenty to walk to. AND a place to park!
For only needing the property to sleep and shower, it was great. I thought the bed was comfortable and the place was clean. As a Type A Planner, I LOVED his little guest book. It was so helpful. We also checked out a few restaurants and bars around the property. I loved my stay and if we come back, we'll most likely use this property again!
I absolutely loved the space. The Host, Guy, was Johnny-on-the-spot. I picked the space knowing that the garden would be sleeping but it was a key factor in me choosing where to stay. The pricing is absolutely perfect for the space. Guy also has two amazing dogs that I just adored.
Thank You Guy for your hospitality and the seeds.

I love how the owner gives you very detailed instructions about the property and it’s a nice touch as well that he made a binder with all pertinent info. Communication with the owner is excellent. The property was in great condition and I love how everything is so clean. My only problem was street parking which is common in the area but it would be nice is I didn’t have to worry about finding parking. But will definitely stay here again.
Everything about the location was as described and very nice. The personal touches with dog and travel pictures were nice and It was a good neighborhood for walking my dog. The host was easily accessible and responsive for any needs. I am still grappling with having fire tv rather than normal cable with easily accessible local channels. This is not specifically about this rental since my last 3 have been the same. Perhaps younger people are better at navigating this change.
The property was exactly as described & our host had very concise communications with me.
The neighborhood is safe & quiet & the studio was extremely comfortable.
And when there was issue w/the TV, our host was right on it!
My only recommendation would be to have some sort of grab rail in the shower.
Sunny studio was the perfect place to relax and rest. Very close to train station; easy access to everywhere, whether it be the city or LI.Very accommodating and responsive host. Kitchen well-equipped and apartment nice and clean.Comfortable and cozy!
