Homestay Customer Reviews

I had the most amazing stay, I felt really welcomed, Judith and Neal are carrying and always good company, I can only recommend!
Let's not forget... I never thought I could experience nyc in such great conditions, the house is lovely with a lot of space, the neighbourhood is beautiful and calm and it's really close from the subway:)
Thank you for this great experience I can't wait to come back!

Delia is a wonderful host, she actually spent time to give me advise on where to visit in the city.
The department is exactly the same as on pictures, cozy and super clean!!
I am really glad that I chose Delia’s apartment during my stay in NYC.

Spending a month at Linda's was great. The room is in a well located area near 2 subway stations, queens center mall and various shops. Going to Manhattan is easy and less than 30 minutes away. The neighborhood is calm and I wasn't really worried, walking back at night.

Linda is a warm and accommodating host who will help you make your trip go as smoothly as possible. She is easy to contact and answer quickly.

I would recommend Linda to my friends. You can book with closed eyes!

Madeline and Louie were wonderful hosts. They made me feel at home. Madeline was really helpful and reactive to my messages or my requests. Louie is super funny! They both are very warm and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend their home, and hope to be back!
Thank you for everything, take care and come visit me someday in French Polynesia :)

Nous étions hébergés chez Anthony et son épouse pendant 11 nuits. Ce sont des hôtes adorables et surtout très disponibles. Anthony nous a fait visité le quartier pour visualiser où se trouvaient les supermarchés, l'arrêt du bus et la station de métro. Il nous a même accompagné pour acheter la métrocard ! Nous étions 5 et le logement correspondait à nos attentes. Le quartier est assez vivant et populaire, cela nous a permis de se rendre compte de la vraie vie américaine. Pour se rendre à Manhattan, il y a le bus à proximité qui nous emmène à une station de métro. Bus plus métro, il faut compter environ 1h pour se rendre à TS à 1h30 de trajet pour aller à Harlem. 30 à 45 mn pour le sud de Manhattan. Nous recommandons vivement cet hébergement. Anthony et son épouse ont tout fait pour rendre notre séjour agréable, merci beaucoup !

Dana and Caleb are each one those rare human being that exude warmth, kindness, and respect to all they meet. They are two wonderful people and I am so happy I had the opportunity to meet and get to know them. This was an exceptionally good homestay because they made me feel like I was at home. I was very lucky to find them and would absolutely stay here again. Ten hearts! (Just wait for the berry pancakes!)

Laurie est une superbe hôte, elle nous a bien conseillé pour les trajets, les choses incontournables à faire et à voir
Elle est au top
J'espère revenir un jour chez elle

We had the best experience at Sharon's home!!! Everything is as described. The zone is fantastic. The room and bathroom surprisingly big and comfortable. Great natural light and air. Quiet day and night. The kitchen was perfect and very useful. Hot water worked like a charm. Not one negative thing to say. Sharon was very helpful. Can't wait to go again.

The stay at Laurie’s was extremely pleasant, the house is very clean and located right outside of the subway station. Laurie is a very helpful, flexible and kind host. 100% recommend.

What a great stay! Very comfortable, lovely and clean house. Nenita is a great person, ready to help and taking care for every detail. Location is very flexible and safe.

You have got many shops nearby (after leaving the house you can go left or right) such as Laundry, Dollar Tree, Taco Bell in one direction and Top Tomato, Pizzeria, Restaurants, etc. in the other direction).

Not so far from ferry station (every time we got instant 78S bus to Staten Island Ferry Station and than free ~20 min to Manhattan).

Really perfect, cheap and high quality stay! All the best!

Delia was an amazing host! The room was exactly as described and the location was perfect and super affordable for Manhattan! Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone visiting NYC

I felt very comfortable with Eva. She is a very nice person and helpful. Everything is clean and tidy. She also showed me the neighborhood and where I could shop. The train to Manhattan can be reached very quickly by bus. If I come back to NYC, I will stay here again.

Judith is super kind and accommodating, she's very firm on her rules but never unreasonable. I'm staying long-term for a semester with her and I've never had any issues with her or felt so restricted, just follow the house rules and double check with Judith and Neil if you're ever unsure, and it's a LOVELY stay. Judith is also a great conversationalist I should say, I really love talking with her about random things. The house is great too and everything's very convinient

Dominique was kind & respectful. Room was clean and welcoming. Perfect stay for our week in NYC. Would recommend anyone staying with her who comes to New York. Thanks Dominique!

I had a great stay with Jehiah and the two other roomates - super nice guys. The apartment is also very nice and big, and kept very clean. The room is beautiful and spacey. It is also a really nice neighborhood and quiet at night as well. It is easy to get to Manhatten with the subway. I would definitely recommend staying here and would like to come back some day!

I loved staying at Nivea’s. The room was spacious and undoubtedly clean. You have toiletries and dental kits at your display if you forget to bring them from home. The subway station for the Q that will take you straight into Manhattan is around the corner and will also connect to the LIRR into JFK airport. I felt very safe in the area walking around at night. I recommend staying here.

Madeline and Louie were such great hosts. I enjoyed my stay with them.
They were so caring and considerate. I really liked how they left me a note with breakfast every morning and I especially liked the banana bread Madeline made.
I reserved their room for 3 days only since I was worried after seeing a lot of negative reviews about other hosts on Homestay, but once I met Madeline and saw how nice and welcoming she was I ended up staying for a week.
I had a great experience overall and I highly recommend being hosted by them.

Delia is the absolut best host any guest could wish for! She's a lovely and kind-hearted person, always up for a little chat and makes sure that her place feels like a home away from home. I will certainly miss talking and laughing with her in the mornings and evenings and sometimes even throughout the day while enjoying one of the countless activities in New York City.
The apartment is very cozily decorated and always clean and neat. Its location makes it easy to get around and start exploring, either by bus and subway or simply by foot.
All in all I can a 1000% recommend staying at Delia's place if you're looking for an enriching and authentic New York experience! I will definitely come and visit her again.

Lynda is a lovely host. As soon as she arrives, she gets in touch with you to explain how to get to her house as easily as possible. She goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy your stay with her. Thank you again Lynda for your warm welcome. See you soon!

There's so many great things to say about my stay with Beth I'm not sure where to start! She's a kind and considerate person who truly cares about her guests. A native of Brooklyn, she is a fountain of knowledge about the area, places to visit and how to get there. The house is beautiful, classic, and very well kept. She provided great breakfasts every morning with plenty of coffee and conversation. All through my stay I felt welcomed, valued, and blessed. Thanks, Beth, for all you did to make me feel at home.

Jeannie is the most wonderful hostess...we felt extremely comfortable and at home. She is very helpful and takes care of all your concerns immediately.
We would love to come back to her again and again!

Sharon is a warm caring person.
We had a lovely stay at Sharon's home. It gave us chance to travel like a local and visit areas off the normal tourist routes and easy access to the main hot spots.
Room was excellent size and great bathroom facilities. Use of kitchen where we could make meals and drinks.
We hope to stay again one day.

I stayed at Madeline’s for a few days and I am so happy i have chosen her as my host!
She is a very hospitable, caring, kind-hearted and easy-going host! She answered all the questions i asked about NYC, shops, sales, people, security and so on - i felt very safe at her flat and in this area in general.
The room is cosy and it has everything you need during the stay - bed, clean linen, towels, TV with different services, wardrobe.
We also spend some time talking with Madeline and her husband Lui. They told many stories about NYC, their own experience and so on.
Honestly, I enjoyed my stay 100%!!!

Jeannie is a lovely person and a wonderful host. She is welcoming and I felt very good during this stay. She helped me from the beginning and she offered me advice and assistance whenever I needed it. Moreover, on the first day, Jeanny walked me around the neighborhood to show me where the subway and bus stops, restaurants, parks, etc. were located. The neighborhood is safe. Furthermore, we had good and interesting conversations.
Although I was only there for a few days, the experience was good. Jeannie is very nice and friendly.

Thanks for everything. Hope to see you soon.
