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!

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.

Cute, quiet getaway place
Fiance and I stayed for 3 nights and loved the cute loft. Farida is a great host and had the place stocked with any needed toiletries and had a mini fridge, microwave & oven. The private deck outside is a nice touch as well. We loved the area too, close enough to catch public transportation to the city. We definitely recommend the space for anyone looking for a getaway or business trip. 10/10.

Of Mice and Men
The first few days of my stay were fine. Location is ok, neighborhood is nice. The house is on a busy road. Not too walkable to anything, such as dining, entertainment as the roads are busy and no direct path. Took Uber to LIRR daily to go into the city $10 per trip. There is no lighting on the exterior of the house so if you get back in the evening there is no porch light and makes it hard to see. There’s a situation with the light to the stairwell and if you don’t have the switches on the exact setting it doesn’t work. The first 3 nights I slept fine despite hearing scuffling in the attic space. The 4th night I watched a mouse climb from the wall. I contacted VRBO about the incident and they sent a message to the owner. The owner never responded and due to my long stay in the city that day I was not able to connect with the owner. The next night I was so exhausted from the non-sleep the night before I made it through for an early departure to catch my flight and I sent a message to the owner. The owner was so worried about how much an exterminator would cold she offered no compensation for the last 2 nights and VRBO didn’t seem to care about the situation. I’ve waited a week to hear the results of her extermination inspection and nothing. So don’t expect any response from this owner if you have an issue and she implies the story was made up after admitting she’s had other creatures in her attic in the past and how expensive it is to take care of.

This was a very nice, clean, quiet home in a safe neighborhood. We walked to breakfast and dinner, and to the laundromat and always felt safe. We went to the LIRR station at UBS Arena and caught the train into Manhattan very easily. Farida was very helpful.

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.
