Guy was the perfect host. He definitely will give you a lot of information about the property, which was really good.. thanks Guy for a great day. Nice neighborhood.
Our stay here was so great! Excellent communication, great location, clean, and great amenities. A/C worked great too. Highly recommend staying again. Thank you Guy!
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!
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.
The house is spotless. The neighborhood very safe. Plenty of street parking. Host is very accommodating. 5 star experiences. If in the area, will definitely book again. Thanks

Apparently, your only complaint is the amount of messages that I provide. My messages give my guests clear instructions that avoid confusion and allow for an orderly, relaxed stay. This is why you were able to have a stress-free self check-in and know exactly how to access the resources in the studio.
What kind of complaints would you have had if you did not receive clear instructions?
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.

Your review is the quintessential expectation of our shared economy. Thank you!
We went to N.Y for a 4 weekend to take care of some family stuff and have a little getaway. Our stay was excellent. The communication for check in and etc.was great. Location was convenient to airport and major parkways. The place was exactly as advertised in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends.

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.
I love nature. Scuba diving, sailing, swimming, hiking, gardening and paddling on a lazy river are among my favorite activities. My gardens and pond qualify my property as a certified wildlife habitat through the National Wildlife Federation. I advocate for our environment in my role as Conservation Chair of a local hiking club. I love jazz, classical music and pop music. I appreciate live concerts and listening to relaxing music at home.
I enjoy traveling authentically, and I seek out locations that are far away from commercial zones. I want the same for my guests. No matter where you're from, our community will feel like home, and, as such, you'll experience travel as if you're a local-- having a productive business trip, but not always feeling like you’re away from home, or enjoying being a tourist but not feeling like one.
Why they chose this property
I was born on and grew up in Long Island. Purchasing a home in Valley Stream gave me access within an hour to world class beaches, bays, salt marshes, Manhattan and mountain hiking trails- all while being able to enjoy the suburban lifestyle.
We're 10 minutes from JFK Airport, 1 mile from the LI Railroad, a 30-minute train ride to Manhattan, 20 minutes to Jones Beach State Park, one mile from Belmont Racetrack and near parks, restaurants, museums and Resorts World Casino.
Valley Stream offers the seclusion of suburbia, while being a stone's throw away from Manhattan, the Hampton wineries, Fire Island, Jones Beach and scenic mountain hiking trails. Within an hour's radius, diverse landscapes await your pleasure.
Our home is centrally located near world-class medical centers: We are 10 miles (15-minute car ride) from Long Island Jewish Medical Center We are 6 miles (16-minute car ride) from Winthrop University Hospital We are 4 miles (8-minute car ride) from Mercy Medical Center We are 11 miles (16-minute car ride) from North Shore University Hospital We are 5 miles (18-minute car ride) from South Nassau Communities Hospital
What makes this property unique
Spending days at our studio is not only about comfortable indoor living. You'll also enjoy the benefit of outdoor living. Read a book, eat a meal or enjoy evening drinks and conversation on your own secluded patio. Whether indoors or outside, our whimsical decor has you in mind. Each tchotchke, wall hanging and garden accent represents a personal story.
