I had a great overall experience staying at Dom's place. Dominique was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and throughout my stay. I arrived several hours later than originally anticipated, but she was very flexible about it. It's a nice room in a small apartment, like described. The East Village is a lively and fun neighborhood. It has a great variety of places to eat and cool shops. I had very little time to spare in-between attending a conference but managed to find some wonderful gifts. Dom is friendly and easy going. She made me feel very welcome. I can highly recommend this room for anyone with a short stay in NYC and who appreciates bustling East Village as their "base" for exploring the city.
Jun 27, 2019My stay was really amazing and I truly loved NY. Dom was a great host, very welcoming & helpful. The apartment is very calm & cozy.. :)))
Jun 27, 2019Easy check-in and check-out. Great location. You can reach on foot Soho, Noho, Nolita, and Chinatown, and by metro (very close) Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Airport... well, all New York City. The East Village is a lively and safe neighbourhood, full of restaurants, snack bars, cafes and groceries. The room is very convenient with private entrance, two windows, wifi, a table, a sofa and TV. The air-conditioned is a bit noisy but it works well. The bathroom is located just the next door. The only negative thing is that the room was dusty and it wasn't as clean as I expected. Besides, walls must be painted again because they look dirty. I didn't met Dominique too much but she is kind and discreet. In conclusion, is a good choice.
Jun 27, 2019My stay was great. There is so much to do and eat in the neighborhood. Dominique is very helpful and knows the area well.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was very responsive and flexible. I flew into NY late in the evening and she was able to meet me close to midnight. It is a fifth floor walkup - but I didn't find it too difficult, and she would be more than happy to help you with luggages. The room is simple, clean and just want you need - a bed, desk and a small futon to sit on. Great experience and would be happy to return again. Thanks D!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique is the perfect host, and the apartment is incredibly well-located in the East Village. The room was clean and comfortable, with a bed, desk, and couch so lots of room to stash your stuff while you check out NYC. Wifi was free and fast, and the building was very secure. A couple of warnings: it is on the fifth floor and there is no elevator, this is not uncommon and didn't bother me a bit but something you need to be ready for if you have heavy bags. The apartment was clean and smoke-free, but someone on the fifth floor of this building is a smoker, something to consider if you're very sensitive to second hand smoke. Not something Dominique (or any other host) can control, however. I would definitely go back!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique's apartment is clean and quite. it's private in the sense that it has its own entrance. Dominique is very friendly and coordinating check in time with her was easy. The apartment is in a great part of NYC, full of shops, restaurants, metro lines, community gardens, and other fun things to do. For this price and location it's a great deal!
Jun 27, 2019accueil très agréable de la propriétaire, très attentionnée et qui a bien voulu patienté pour attendre mon arrivée . la chambre était soignée et l'emplacement de l'appartement très pratique .
Jun 27, 2019Séjour ok, bonne location, pas chers et appartement propre. Dominique était toujours disponible et arrangeante pour les clefs, petit problème d'eau réglé aussitôt avec le proprio. Chambre privative avec porte sur le palier, pratique. Un autre personne a louée la deuxième chambre pendant la durée du séjour. La cuisine est toute petite sans fenêtre dans un petit couloir. Salle d'eau bien. Chauffage bien malgré les 20 F dehors. Mais, odeur de tabac froid du voisin du dessous, pas très agréable mais ça passe.. Musicien en dessous avec musique très forte en pleine nuit et dans la journée par intermittence, musique classique donc agréable mais un peu fort quand meme. sinon très calme, fenêtre sur cour intérieur. Rapport qualité prix bien si on fait abstraction des petits défaut.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, clean apartment. I booked the smaller room and the stairs of the building are right outside the thin door. Light sleepers you may be disturbed by the noise of people going in and out of their apartment, you may want to consider the bigger room. Dominic was very nice and available for any queries. Flexible for your arrival/departure time as well.
Jun 27, 2019Convenient location and room. Dominique was very kind and responsive. I'd recommend this to my friends for a short weekend stay.
Jun 27, 2019The room was preatty good, Dominique is a good host, she provided me everything I needed. Great area, full of young people, pubs, restaurant, bars. The only bad thing was that the walls are very thin, and even if the room is not facing the street( which is good),you can hear everything, especially one of the neighbor who play instruments and listen to music ALL the time very loud, and it's annoying.
Jun 27, 2019The place was nice. I would say it's more than entire place than that private room. Cause u have ur own kees, own entries.. Dominique also was nice, off course i saw her only when I took the kees and before leaving. So the area of this room is nice, many restaurants and coffee shops, close to Soho, Nolita.. I like walking, I could walk all those places. Subway is not too close just 8-10 minutes far, but u can easily catch cab there, which is almost impossible in midtown. And nice thing is most hang out places -clubs, bars is in downtown area and off course in east village.. So it won't be boring there, believe me. Well I enjoyed my staying at Dominique place, she helped me when I was helpless.. Thank u Dominique
Jun 27, 2019Doninique was VERY hospitable! She was pleasant enough to show me where things were, along with making sure I knew how to reach her. The room was wonderful and clean as well! Upon arrival, she handed me the keys to the entrance that let me directly I to the room! I did not have a single issue with neither Dominique nor the apartment. I recommend this space/host to anyone looking for a place to stay in the city without breaking the bank!
Jun 27, 2019To start things off, Dominique is absolutely amazing. When I first arrived, it was bad timing because she was at work and I needed to get the keys to the apartment. She so easily met with me to give them while at work, so she is VERY flexible with your check in time! Upon arriving at the apartment, it's exactly as described. Everything was perfect! You have your own private entrance to your bedroom straight from the outside and then a sliding door that's right beside the bathroom, leads to the narrow hallway down to the kitchen, and across is Dominique's bedroom. East village is a great and safe place to stay. It's busy but not THAT busy; it's pretty chill. The apt is also very close to subway stations, boutiques, and awesome eaterys. Also, if you need any tips Dominique will totally help you. She's so sweet! So yah, overall if you're looking for a place to stay in Manhattan, definitely stay here!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was a very nice host who is helpful and accommodating. She was very flexible with check-in considering I was 2 hours ahead of my expected arrival time, which was no problem for her. The apartment was lovely and very centrally located with countless fun things to do in a close proximity. Dominique was great with recommending places to go and even offered to cook for me one night (she's so nice!)
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was great, super friendly. The place was friendly and private, close to things I needed and the neighbourhood seemed busy and safe. Thanks for a great stay!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was a very nice host and very flexible with check-in or out that . considering I arrived quite late and left in a early morning, which was no problem for her. The location of the apartment was convenient with many grocery stores or good restaurants. Very close to 2nd Ave. metro station (F line) and 1st Ave (L line).
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was really nice but the room was not really clean. The sheets and the towel she gave me were not clean (found hair on the sheets for example)...
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was very nice! The room was exactly the same as shown in the pictures. It has good location and was easy for me to travel around in the city. I had full privacy during my stay. Thanks Dominique!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique's room is in a great area (my new favourite area of NYC) that feels safe, she was a good host, flexible on checking out and we managed to communicate well. The only thing I'd have to say about my stay was that the bathroom wasn't exactly the cleanest...
Jun 27, 2019Great apartment and amazing location. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfy. I definitely recommend this AirBnb.
Jun 27, 2019Her home is not habitable. And the surrounding Neighborhood is disgusting. It's a giant homeless shelter.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique set this up on short notice, a thursday for me to arrive the following Friday. She was communicative and accessible. I didn't stay in the room shown. I stayed in the front BR in the apartment so I can't comment on the room. Neighborhood is cool and the apt. is centrally located which is lovely.
Jun 27, 2019I enjoyed staying there. Thanks.
Jun 27, 2019Superb location. Perfect apt for 2 or even 3 because there is a sofa which it could be used as bed too. And furthermore, i had a door entrance for me!! Perfect!!I was walking to Times Square, world trade center, central park. Its a good spot for sleeping because most of the time I was enjoying the city. Dominique was kind and try to arrange everything. I would recommend it. I just recommend to Dominique to arrange the smoke smell. Thnks
Jun 27, 2019This was my first experience in staying in a room in a shared apartment, and also my last. Dominique is a really nice person, communicative and kind, but I'm sorry to say that her place, though functional, is not recommendable for anyone who doesn't fit the young , college student and extremely easygoing or on a budget type. First of all, the apartment has an awful smell of cigarrete all around, even in the sheets and blanket. Worse than that, there's an occasional terrible smell of pot, I don't know from where or whom, so not making any accusations, but it's bad indeed. The neighbors are extremely noisy, they listen to loud music the whole day and night, and when there's no music there's a girl singing NONSTOP after midnight the same song over and over again (out of tune as hell). It is impossible to sleep due to the noisy old heater, who sounds like a painful flute glissando (and I'm a heavy sleeper). So this is the night routine: when there's no music and people smoking marijuana, there's a loud girl 'singing' and when there's no girl or music at all, the heater makes the night an awaken's hell. I don't get it. How can this list be entitled " Beautiful room " ? Was it "functional room" or even "convenient location" it'd be more honest. But it is far from beautiful. The building is old, filthy, there's graffitti all around INSIDE THE BUILDING, in the walls and even in the doors of the units. So the feeling is you're entering a really unsafe zone where criminals get easily inside the building to damage the walls and doors and God knows what else. However nothing unusual happened during my four days stay, I didn't see anyone suspicious, in fact the neighborhood is almost entirely composed of young harmless people, and the worst you can see is a bunch of drunk folks screaming and wandering around the streets. I rented this place because I thought I could save some money after travelling for 3 months with my companion staying only in good hotels or private apartments. Now that I'm alone for a brief period of time I thought some saving would come in handy, but I guess one gets what one pays for, so I'll never stay in a room again and already moved to an apartment. Anyway, I'm glad to have met Dominique. If you don't mind the lack of hotel-like standards, this is definitely a great option for you.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was incredibly helpful and efficient in responding to my request! The space was exactly as described with a flood of sunlight during the day and a private entrance in and out of the room. I read about other visitors concerns about the smell of smoke, however I only encountered it when I would pass by that neighbor on the walk up, so it really wasn't as bad as others had made it seem. The neighborhood itself is located near some fun bars and restaurants and the walk to the subway stops were definitely manageable. I'm so grateful Dominique was able to set this room up on such short notice!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique and the room are amazing! She was very accommodating, met me as soon as I got to the city. The room is nice and clean, with its own entrance it feels as though you have your own hotel room. Great area, close to Subway stations and walking distance from Washington and Union Squares. I highly suggest staying here! Thanks Dominique!
Jun 27, 2019I've spent a nice stay at dominique's place. She was very helpful with me. She wait for me because a delay on my plane and also showed me all metro entrance near apartment. If you just want a place for sleep and have a great time this is very cool. Thanks Dominique!!
Jun 27, 2019Very smooth check-in/check-out process, even as Dominique was traveling. Perfect for someone like me who only needs a spot to crash and keep my stuff while working all day (even weekends) and socializing all evening. Really appreciate how the room has its own private entry, and note that the bathroom is shared with whomever else is in the other room on the other side of the apartment. One of my favorite neighborhoods in town and super conveniently located to the subway as well as some of the best restaurants and bars in NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic area, not perfect for rental in late spring or the summer. Be ware of cockroaches in the summertime!!! This area is ideal for a couple of days, week, months in New York. However, the place did not have A/C (something which the ad said it would have), and there were cockroaches in both the bathroom, kitchen and the main bedroom.. I would definitely recommend this place for fall and winter, but not for spring and summer when NYC tend to be warm and humid.
Jun 27, 2019Diminique's accodommation is really clean and convenient! Great experience!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique is nice enough while home. The other room however was rented out most of the time so you will never know who you're living with - if you're fine with that. Seems sometimes a bit of a basic boiler room to extract max profit but it is what it is. Internet is shared with the neighbours and can be as slow as to be unusable if you need it for work. That being said there is a lock on your door to the general area so there's privacy. I got the air conditioning installed so you should be fine with staying cool in summer. It's nyc so lower your standards exponentially for living in general and in this tenement style building - 5th floor walk up, and small cockroaches but if you're flexible its a fine enough crash pad but it's bare necessities atm. There's room in the fridge for your food, towels, but maybe the room could have less of hosts personal items to create more space for guest. Have included some tips for the host to make better for your stay.
Jun 27, 2019Great room, cool air. Perfect location. Gorgeous host. I could not recommend this spot more! She even carried my bag up the stairs!!!! See you in October!
Jun 27, 2019I had a nice welcome from Dominique and she always help me for any questions or informations during my stay in New York. The bedroom is exactly as on the pictures. It was clean and very quiet compare to the noise in the Manhattan streets. It is well located (not so far from the subway) in an animated neighborhood. Just the bathroom is very small and the flat is on the 4th floor but it is ok for few days. Dominique, thanks again! You are part of my nice week in New York!
Jun 27, 2019I stayed in Dominique's apartment for 4 days in NYC. Was very nice, the room was cute & clean. The private access was perfect! Had a late check out, she was very accommodating and kind! Area is great, near nice coffee shops and many other eateries. Will return! Thank you Dominique!
Jun 27, 2019Everything really good, very well located. A lot places around, like restaurants, bars, yoga studios. Dominique was very nice, I didn't have chance to talk to much with her, I think I say her like 2 times. Nice option to stay here!
Jun 27, 2019I was lucky to have the entire apartment for myself as Dominique left for Spain. The room itself is fine. There is enough space to keep all your belongings and simply feel comfortable. It's warm and clean same is the bathroom. Just the wifi didnt work well in the room. The location is very good.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was very nice and accommodating, her place was just as described, and the location is close to public transit as well as many restaurants and storefronts! Recommended.
Jun 27, 2019amazing host, beautiful home and neighborhood!!
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was friendly and responsive. The room was perfect for my NYC visit!!
Jun 27, 2019The host was very welcoming and the apartment was in an area where it was easy to access some great New York living. If you have a lot of luggage, this may not be the place for you as it is a five floor walkup! Thanks Dominque!
Jun 27, 2019Le quartier est bien mais le métro n'est pas à côté. La chambre est relativement propre. La cuisine et la salle de bains eux ne le sont pas tellement. Manque de présence d'un propriétaire en cas de problème technique dans l'appartement ce qui a été le cas pour moi. Dominique se rend disponible pour toutes questions.
Jun 27, 2019This was a great place to stay for the few days I was in New York. It was a short walk to the subway, which took less then 10 mins to get into the heart of Manhattan. Dominique was a great host and kept checking in with me to make sure everything was going well, and helped with questions I had. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!
Jul 27, 2019Great host and stay. Dominique wasn't in town while I stayed but she was very attentive through texting, and the apt had everything I needed. Great neighborhood if you are visiting NYC.
Jun 27, 2019Room is okay, the pillowcases i saw few long hairs on my pillowcase. and the duvet has no cover, it mean the duvet without wash left from the previous guests . wifi, is bad. i came to business. but very weak wifi and keep broken down. i use my phone data to share the wifi to PC.
Jun 27, 2019Not the best room, but good for the price I guess. Was cold, but there is s smell heater in there. Good for the price I guess
Jun 27, 2019The room is at best average, photos are clearly enhanced and glossed over. Bed is small and not very comfortable. However, the host is lovely and the apartment is in a nice spot. Had I known what the place actually looked like I would have certainly gone with a different option considering there are so many houses available in that area through Airbnb. Bathroom is tiny, wash basin is the size of a large mug and the shower is not clean. Place also smells of marijuana, something I cannot stand. There was dust everywhere, quilts stuffed behind the sofa. So overall I'm going to give this place 2.5 stars! Thank you.
Jun 27, 2019The room was clean and good. But most importantly the location was amazing and the host would answer your questions very quickly
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique place was great . Ideal location in east village ! Room was as indicated in the description . Dominique was really helpful and always responding to any questions. Thanks !
Jun 27, 2019The room was nice and as advertised, and was a good place to crash after a busy day. Dominique communicated actively, and everything went smoothly.
Jun 27, 2019Clean, cool and comfortable. Dominique was a great host, gave me plenty of tips on where to go - and was quick to respond to any queries I had. Would definitely come back!
Jun 27, 2019The place is in a great area. Right in the middle of the lower east side and very close to Chinatown as well. The place was clean and comfortable. It's NYC, so its a tiny place, but the bedroom is actually fairly large.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique is fine and the local is ok.
Jun 27, 2019The host, the bedroom, and the location were all excellent. I highly recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique a été tres disponible pour m'accueillir, elle m'a tout de suite mise à l'aise et s'est montré prévenante. Elle m'a aidé des que j'en ai eu besoin. La chambre correspondais exactement aux photos et le quartier est très agréable !
Jun 27, 2019I enjoyed staying at Dominique's place , it's in a quiet and comfortable environment in East village area with lots of good restaurants, thank you ,Dominique
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was nice and accommodating. She had a towell ready for me and the room was clean. However, I hate to give bad ratings but I have to be honest: the nightly rent is way overrated. It's definitely in a nice area but the room was very cold (mid-october, and no way to close the broken window). If I hadn't brought my own cover and wool socks, I would have had quite a bad night. The WiFi also only worked when in the kitchen so there's no wi-fi available really.. And she decided to make herself a smoothy... at 1:30 am. She used her blender twice for a while and made a lot of noise in the kitchen.. it woke me up twice. I went to see her and she kindly apologized. But for the price... definitely wasn't the best unfortunately.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique made my stay enjoyable and the room was lovely- just like the picture.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique was very welcoming. The room is clean and tidy. Great location.
Jun 27, 2019I had a very bad experience and chose not to stay there
Jun 27, 2019Communication, booking, and check-in with Dominique was quick and easy. This place is a great value for the location!
Jun 27, 2019Some of the amenities in the description are missing/not up to date, but this is a place to briefly stay a night when in a pinch. Dominique was accommodating and flexible with scheduling check in/out times.
Jun 27, 2019Great location & communication by the host. There were issues during my stay with the room, but I am sure Dominique will be able to address them for future guests.
Jun 27, 2019Dominique’s place was very cute, close the the Bowery, great location with local bars, restaurants, etc. and great value for money. She was a great host and very quick at responses. I would definitely recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location and Dominique isa great host. 5th floor walkup which is a bit annoying especially when carrying bags but otherwise the place is great. Would stay again
Jun 27, 2019젊은이들이 모이는 East village에 위치. 게스트를 존중해주는 태도. 연말 성수기임에도 불구하고 합리적인 가격.
