Quick 1 night stay

Overall it was a decent place to stay for 1 night. Could use a little upgrading. It didn't bother me, but the place is near JFK airport so you can hear the planes taking off.

AMAZING AND CANT WAIT TO COME BACK

This place was amazing. Not only is the property owner very personable, kind and down to earth; but she’s available to answer any questions do you have or help with anything you need. This property is very clean and you can tell the property owner takes pride in interior design. The prices are more than reasonable for what you get and I would recommend anyone to stay here. I will become a regular using this place every time I go back to New York to visit my family.

Glad we showed our Marine NYC from this perch.

We loved Farida and the accommodation, and the neighborhood. There were very many nice touches; she was personable and thought of almost everything. There was even a tiny koi pond out front. The only thing I would have added is an info sheet about how to walk to the nearest public transportation, in case the hostess is not in, but this is something any host should do. In lieu of this, when Farida knew we had a need, she provided copious oral instructions. We would go back any time and highly recommend this rental. It was very nearly perfect. better than we hoped for.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Communication
The home was lovely and clean and the amenities were great but the sleeping accommodations were not ideal - we felt like an afterthought. We didn’t get our entry code until we had been standing outside the house with our luggage for several minutes, though it was over an hour after the specified check in time and our trying to contact her (which made us nervous that we had been dropped off at the wrong house). We also did not have adequate bedding. After a few hours she replied to our request but we had already gone to bed after a long, international flight, so we didn’t sleep great. No soap in the bathroom (just hand sanitizer). We paid a lot more for one night so are a bit disappointed.

Pleasant, relaxing get away

Farida is a friendly and gracious host. Her home is absolutely beautiful. The neighborhood is safe and clean. It is the type of neighborhood you will want to take a walk through. The VRBO space itself is clean, quiet, relaxing and comfortable. You will find every amenity you will need. The air conditioning was perfectly cold on the 81 degree days we stayed. There are two giant flat screens in the place, one equipped with a fire stick and we were able to watch our regular programming. Having the private porch off the living room was another blessing. Access to the Highway is convenient. Overall, I’m so glad we chose to stay here. I highly recommend this place and i will definitely be coming back here the next time I’m in NYC. Thank you so much Farida.

Property was fine but I think host doesn't have enough experience renting her property she was constantly in our business since she live downstairs. Place was not clean, refrigerator was dirty we ask for another roll of toilet paper and she refused so we went and bought our own. From the beginning she didnt want us to stay since VRBO has not paid her from previous occasions cousing us a two hour conversation before she can agree for us to stay. I would think twice before I can ever if I ever stay there. She also monitoring with all her cameras, she knew what we were eating even when the door were close giving us the impression that she was watching us all the time absolutley inappropiate no privacy.

Charming Loft and. Wonderful Host

Our stay at Farida’s loft was great! The location was great for us as we stayed attended the US Open tennis. You can see the care that Farida puts into her place as the outside entry is so beautiful and inviting. Inside, the loft is as described. The beds are comfortable, even the futon under the loft bed. There was ample hot water in the shower, and Farida also provided free coffee, tea, water and snacks. We also met Farida and she was wonderful to talk to and gave us the privacy we desired. The check in and entry instructions are very clearly outlined and although the electronic lock is tricky at first,if you trust the process, it’s quite simple. The kitchen space is quite tight, but we knew that when we booked, but good for light breakfasts. For the price,and location, we would stay here again.

Exceeded My Expectations! :)

Farida was very responsive from the moment I booked my reservation to my check-in and check-out. I was unfamiliar with Elmont, NY, but Farida provided information on the LIRR station stop and Uber/Lyft access. Farida's loft was in a quiet neighborhood and was accessible to restaurants and grocery stores a few blocks away. Her front and backyard were well-manicured. The house was very secure, with a palm and code security system. As a solo woman traveler, I appreciated this feature. I felt so safe! The loft was spacious and tidy, and the description was accurate. Farida's loft showed her attention to ensuring guests had an enjoyable stay, from the restaurant flyers to complimentary snacks to an information bulletin board. The loft had central air, which made the stay comfortable. This was a wonderful feature since New York was experiencing a heat wave during my stay. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept well. As wonderful as Farida's loft is, she is equally as wonderful! Farida is a beautiful spirit. She is very personable and attentive. She extended herself to ensure I had a wonderful stay! I stayed one night at Farida's loft, but I plan to book her loft for a longer stay in the near future!

About the host

Hosted by Farida

Host profile image
Welcome to your cozy home away from home — a peaceful retreat created with love, comfort, and care.

My journey as a host began with a simple desire: to create a space where people could slow down, feel safe, and truly relax. I’ve always believed that comfort is not just about beautiful surroundings — it’s about the feeling of being welcomed, seen, and cared for. That’s why every detail here, from the plush Tempur-Pedic bed to the easy climate control, is chosen to help you feel completely at ease after a day of exploring or traveling.

Becoming a yoga instructor grew naturally from that same passion for nurturing others. Yoga has been a guiding force in my life — teaching me balance, patience, and the beauty of being present. Sharing that with others, whether in the studio or through simple mindfulness during your stay, is one of my greatest joys. I love offering guests the chance to reconnect with themselves — to breathe deeply, move gently, and leave feeling lighter than when they arrived.

This space is perfect for couples or small groups (2–4 guests) seeking warmth, privacy, and a touch of luxury. Conveniently located within walking distance to the UBS Arena, and only 15 minutes from JFK or 25 minutes from LGA, it offers the best of both worlds — easy access to everything, yet a calm haven to return to.

Whether you’re here for adventure, rest, or renewal, I hope you’ll find this home to be a place where you can unwind, recharge, and feel inspired.

From my heart to yours — welcome home. 🌸

Why they chose this property

I love that it is very close to one of the major airport in NY, and although I am in more of a peaceful area but still close to the city.

What makes this property unique

As if stepping into a realm of majestic serenity, you find yourself enveloped in an atmosphere where tranquility reigns supreme.
