Safe place to stay at, Stefan's a great host. He'll check in often to see how you're doing, give recommendations and suggestions on where to go. We'll stay there again when we come back to NY
December 2011Surrounding is not what you expect, but Stefan was the best host I've ever had! He even cooked a complete Thanksgiving dinner for us. Recommend this place to stay and in 15 minutes you're in Manhattan.
We had a great stay at Stephan's place, he really is a good host. We liked NY very much and it was nice to have a place to take some rest with our little daughter. Thank you Stephan for telling us the best places to eat pizza and brownies! Good location!
Great room, easily slept 3 of us, comfy bunk beds, tv with remote (hehe), very clean apartment, no problem with bugs. Full access to a large kitchen, pots, pans, fridge, toaster, coffee maker etc. and decent shower & bathroom. Stefan is a really friendly & accommodating host, made us feel right at home, he's chatty & very funny, but respectful of guest's privacy. Stefan has useful tips about things to do & places to eat/drink in NYC + posses the best hangover cure in the world (maybe... More »
hey. first of all stefan is a great host who is taking care of everything that might come up. he provides you with all kinds of information aswell. although guests are sharing the bathroom and kitchen with him it's not disturbing or annoying at all. you will find every necessary supply close by in the area and travelling to manhattan only takes about 15 min using the L train. to us the neighbourhood looked kind of sketchy first but it actually really isn't. we had absolutely no problems...

4 young experienced travelers on a budget having a great time. All the stories about Stefan are true. He is an outgoing guy who I'd trust wholeheartedly. Stefan has great information for all types of travelers. IMO, the location will suit those experienced more so than "dreamy" folk who may have higher expectations. I was fine with this place because it was close enough to subway, and close enough to the city. IMO, parking there at first is bit challenging due to the interesting... More »
Stefan is a very gregarious and affable fellow who does the utmost to make you feel welcome. He is super knowledgable about the area and new York in general. The flat is in a very dynamic part of town lots of excellent hispanic restaurants and a generous smattering of hipster bars and restaurants. Wicked coffee shop near Jefferson subway stop and splendid hidden away bar on trout man st (also does incredible breakfasts). The flat itself is rather stuffy the room being tucked away behind the...

Wonderful stay! Stefan is SO nice and caring. He will give you good advice about the neighborhood and Manhattan. And if you are lucky enough that he happens to cook during your stay, you will enjoy his delicious meals ;-) He likes to receive guests, and it shows! At the same time he is respectful of your privacy. The perfect balance! The place is super comfortable and clean, nicely decorated, and very conveniently located near the L subway line. Go for it!
Great host to stay with. The location was very convenient to Manhattan--less than 25 minutes on the L.
Awesome stay, great host, super cool location! Stefan was the best host you could imagine. He was helpful, knowledgeable of the area and very cool to hang out with. I wish we could have stayed more, nonetheless we definitely will meet him again and go out together or hang out. The area is Bushwick/Williamsburg which looks intimidating at first, but the place is filled with interesting people, so don't be scared! There is a great organic store two streets away and right next to it a... More »
Stefan is a really friendly and helpful host. The beds are big and comfy and the apartment is pretty near the subway. Definitely a great place to stay(:
I visited a friend in New York and because I couldn't stay at his place, I found Stefan's b&b close to my friends place. I also can´t recommend Stefan highly enough. It was my first booking through airbnb and hopefully the next time everything runs as smooth. Stefan is a wonderful host. He knows everything around, he knows good restaurants and bars. And if there is a problem with whatever, he will find a way to solve it. You don't have to care about anything. This part of NYC (Bushwick) is... More »
I've stayed at AirBnB places before, but Stefan stepped it up to a whole new level. I can't recommend him highly enough. I had a last minute transfer to NYC for three months for work, and Stefan was extremely accommodating, as well as flexible with some last minute schedule changes near the end of my stay. He also offered to pick up food for me when he was at the market while I was out. Yet he also was respectful of privacy and space as well. Pretty much the best you could ask... More »
Stefan was a fantastic host.. Super friendly & helpful! We spent some nights out together and we laughed a lot! His place was awesome, super comfy and his suprise dinners and breakfast's are YUMMY! We will be staying again on our next visit!
Me and my boyfreind stayed at Stefans for 10 nights and had the best time.He is so welcoming and the place feels realy cared about,cozy and comfortable.We really enjoyed our chats with Stefan-hes a total dude!- and felt staying with him really added to our whole experience of the city.The area is really cool/very chilled-easy to get to the subway and quick to get to Williamsburg and Manhatten.We went out in the evening lots and always felt safe coming home.There is a great restaurant/music...

Three of my friends and I stayed at Stefan's place for five nights. It was incredibly affordable. The bedroom/living room area is very cozy and warm. Stefan is a walking encyclopedia of NYC attractions - both touristy and obscure. He was very attentive to our needs. Overall, Stefan was a great host and we enjoyed getting to know him.
Stefan is very easy to deal with. He is friendly and very quick in answering any query or message. The apartment is clean and near the subway. And the bed linens were newly washed. Stefan made sure that we had everything we needed, and was always ready if we needed any assistance. My friends and I enjoyed chatting with him after spending the day exploring New York. Thanks Stefan!
Anette and I stayed 10 days at Stefan's place in Brooklyn and loved it! The apartment is cool, clean and cosy and Stefan is a trustworthy, fun and friendly person. Thank you for all the advises and funny stories. Hope to see you again!
First of all, Stefan is a great Human Being ! Yes !! Going to his comodo is not only finding a cheap and convenient place to stay when in NYC (wich is definitely true) but meeting a nice guy, open hearted, generous and very hepful, especially for women travelling alone like myself. I do recommend the place 'cause it's in a safe neighbouhood, close to the subway L line (you'll be in Union Square were all the trains stops within' 20 mn)and it's probably one of the cheapest way to have a...

We had a really nice time at Stefan's place, we stayed there for 12 days and we really enjoyed our New-York trip. Over all, Stefan is really gentle and he likes to share with us and advices us about what to do there, even if there yet a lot of things to do in NYC. The flat is a good location and Stafan takes care about it and about us. Thanks a lot again Stefan for everythings, was great man to share that time with you! CYA, definitely.... YEAH*
Hi hello together. Stefan was a great host and the charge on this apartment is really cheap. My three sons and I stayed with him for 5 days while visiting NYC. I would say if you wanna stay at Comodo with four adults you must be very friendly to another because the flat is a little bit smaller than expected and Stefan is using the bathroom sometimes too. But we haven't any trouble with this. Also Stefan was really helpful and hospitable and my boys liked him very much too. He made sure we... More »
Stefan is very friendly, he can give a lot of advice for visiting NYC. We spent a great week in Brooklyn. The apartment is clean, can afford 4 people easily and is very close from L train. If i need to sleep in Brooklyn again, it's at Stefan's place ! Nico
If you are looking for an affordable place to stay in NY, your search is over! You found it! The place has a good size for a couple, if you're on your own is even better! Stefan has the talent to be the host, is patient and helpful, and very organized ... you really feel at home with him. Not to mention that it cooks very well, if he has to prove cooking part, you will not regret it. The neighborhood is very safe and the metro is very close ... When I return to NY, I hope to stay in the house... More »
I stayed at Stefan's for two weeks together with two friends of mine and we really had a great time sharing the flat with Stefan. He is a considerately and very friendly person, who worked much but also had time to tell us where to find nice places. It is a relaxed, warm and cozy place to stay! And the area is very charming as well. Next time in NY, we'll definitly stay at his place again!
Stefan was a great host! My boyfriend and I stayed with him for 8 days while looking for an apartment in Brooklyn (we're from SF) and he was really helpful and hospitable. He made sure we got what we needed in terms of amenities and hooked us up with all the locals only info. Plus, his dog is sooooooo cute. Thanks Stefan!
hey, if you`re looking for a room: with kitchen and bathroom, close to Brooklyn, wich is absolutly cosy , 15 min to manhatten, for holidays with your girlfriend, with everything you need arround you, with a very obliging host, choose Stefans Appartment!!! Thank you for the good time, Stefan! We will definitely come back! :-)
I had a great time at Stefans apartment. great location, perfect distance from subway, no trouble or difficulties in or around the area. As for the place itself, i loved it, very new york, it was cosy and ideal, comfy bed, spacious, warm and always hot water which is always essential right =] i will definitely stay here again.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Stefan's place for a little over a week. His place was always warm and cosy, something to consider if you're visiting in the winter. The room itself was in an altogether different apartment -- it is connected to the kitchen but separated with thick curtains. So, it's as if you have your own apartment with shared kitchen and bathroom! Also, the location is minutes away from the subway, that was definitely a bonus. Good value all around!
Stefan couldn't be more pleasant to host. He showed up at my house with a big box of NY teddy bear and so many good stories from his trips around the world! He genuinely appreciated everything I introduced to him about Korea and my parents loved him too :)
