Sam has a very nice, clean and quiet place. The room was spacious and private, and has plenty of storage space. My friend and I felt welcome and comfortable from the start, and found the neighborhood easy and safe to walk. Sam is a great conversationalist, and a wonderful cook. If you need to stay in Bensonhurst, I highly recommend his place.
Hesham would have to be the best host on Airbnb
Friendly, Helpful and a great cook.
His home is everything you need clean and tidy, close to the Subway which is an easy trip into the city, No problems at all, and in a quiet area.
As a single holidaying in NY I was a bit nervous about the Big Apple but my experience through Hesham and his home made it all worth while. I would certainly recomend Hesham to all Airbnb users.
Hesham was a lovely host for my w/end stay. He was super helpful and courteous, though never overbearing. His place is in a well maintained deco block, 4 flights up.The guest bedroom is large, airy, immaculately clean and the bed deliciously comfortable after a long day in Manhattan. Hesham makes every effort to make you feel at ease, and gives total freedom of his home and amenities. Although in Brooklyn, the journey to Manhattan was far less cumbersome than I would have imagined and took... More »
Hesham is the tops. He went out of his way to accommodate me at the last minute - was thoughtful, friendly and extremely warm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hesham as a host.
Hesham is an excellent host. He'll go out of his way to help guests who are new to New York City, like my brother and I e.g. taught us on how to use NYC's vast public transport system. We were moving around by ourselves in no time. After our days out trekking the city, we would occasionally come back to dinner readily prepared by Hesham. Thank you, Hesham, for your hospitality and a pleasant initiation to the NYC life.
Hesham was very warm and welcoming! He obviously enjoys meeting new people and is good fun to chat with. The room was very airy and comfortable, I slept really well!
Hesham could not have been a nicer host. Everything you could need to be comfortable was provided. I was lucky enough to share some conversation with him the night I arrived, and it was one of the best parts of my trip. His part of Brooklyn is perfect for those who want to be close enough to pop into the city, but come out again for a good night's rest.
Staying with Esham was one of the highlights of our overnight stay in Brooklyn. To be in the B&B business a host must have a special personality and really care about their guests. My husband and I have stayed in B&B's all over the world and Esham's apartment and his wonderful nature made this stay one of our most enjoyable stays.
From the moment we arrived Esham was there to meet our needs, He made us omlettes to make sure we wern't hungry before our night out. He lent us his digital... More »
Esham Caro is a great host and goes beyond duty to make you comfortable. His home is beautifully decorated, the room is large and cozy. Esham is very helpful, kind, caring, respectful and considerate. We had fun too. I was warmly received. My flight came in really late at night and he not only stayed up to wait for me, but offered me a homemade dinner. That was special. I very much enjoyed my stay at his home and will return. This was my first experience with airbnb and it was a positve one.... More »
Esham is a little overeager to share his belief in extraterrestrials, but otherwise he's an extremely accommodating host. He kept offering to prepare us food. It was great, as was our room. Huge, comfortable bed.
Hesham was an amazing host! So welcoming and friendly it felt like we were staying with family. The flat is really nice and stylish, close to the subway and a local area full of markets and small eateries. It's a little far from the hippest spots, but the subway takes you there, the only issue we had being the weekend maintenance work causing delays. Definitely great value for money, superb hosting and thoroughly recommended!
It was my 1st time using Airbnb. After a lot of searching for accommodations to stay in NYC I couldn't found anything afforable. I try Airbnb and found that Esham has really great reviews from his previous clients and decided to stay there. Brooklyn not a bad area to stay with you wish to be away from all the touristy things. I like where Esham apartment was located very close to local markets, resturants and subway. The subway will take about 40mins to get over to Manhattan side. Esham... More »
Esham welcomed into his home, was very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to show us how to get around, and made every effort to make our stay comfortable. He responded to all our requests.
Our host Eshm was very cordial and helpful The bed was very comfortable. Truthfully everything was ok except the stairs. If one has knee or stamina problems you may want to reconsider. Esham helped us with our luggage, but after walking a lot in NYC an elevator would have been nice.
Esham was an excellent host,very considerate and helpfull. He is very pleasant and has a great sense of humour always making sure my stay was comfortable. He will fix anything that you need fixing, JUST FIX IT !!
The location was excellent,easy access to Manhatten on the Subway and there are plenty of shops within 5 mins walk from the appartment.
The appartment was clean and comfortable.
If I come back to NY in the future I would stay here again, and would recomend others to stay... More »
My family's stay at Hesham's apartment in Marrakesh was great. The apartment was exactly as advertised on airbnb, which isn't always the case. Hesham ensured that our needs were met and our questions answered in advance. Additionally, Hesham had a neighbor pick us up at the airport and take us to the apartment. He also volunteered to arrange a city tour for us. All-in-all our week-long stay in Marrakesh was enhanced by the accommodations provided by Hesham.
Esham was *wonderful* to stay with! The room was spacious and quiet, and his recommendation of a taxi saved me considerably.
He made me feel like part of his family, and I thoroughly enjoyed talking about a vast range of subjects. Indeed, I was about to trek off with my (website hidden) map to find a subway station, early in the morning, when he instead gave me directions that saved me a huge amount of time. We then engaged in a truly wonderful discussion over coffee I will never forget. Beyond... More »
Hesham was an amazing host. He was available for us for more than a place to stay, but also help if we needed it, good conversation, and is an excellent cook! I would stay with him again anytime I decide to take a weekend up to New York, thanks Hesham.
If there were a 6 star rank, I would use it! Bahija and her family are warm, welcoming, wonderful hosts. Hesham was prompt with communications, and everyone went out of their way to make sure I had someone to call upon for help if needed. The accomodations were comfortable, and the apartment was right across the street from Prospect Park and near the subway. I would stay there again on a future trip to New York.
Hesham is wonderful. He has a beautiful apartment in Marrakech, central to everything (and with AC!!!!! very important in 110 degree weather!). He was delightful to speak with and provided good tips for my trip. I highly recommend him as a host. A great experience. Thank you Hesham!!!!!!!!!!
Hesham was a fantastic host. From when I showed up to the moment I left, Hesham made sure I had a great stay in NY.
The location was in a great, diverse neighborhood just a few stops on the subway from Coney Island. The apartment was clean and well maintained. My quarters were comfortable and the room was well appointed.
Hesham made me dinner and a light breakfast several times, and it tasted great! He gave me subway tips which came in handy. He is also a very interesting man with many... More »
I had great experience at Hesham's place.
I felt like home away from home for a few days.
I hope I will have a chance to stay with Hesham again.

All the reviews are exactly right. Our stay was better than great. Heshem is the ideal host, a caring and fascinating person who loves people. He made us feel totally at home and pampered us with food and stories and general helpfulness. The apartment is rich with style and exotic flavor. Cannot wait to go back and stay there (and shower) again!
When I arrived to stay with Hesham, I was greeted like a VIP - he had even prepared a very tasty light supper in case I felt hungry! I was blown away by his wonderful and attentive hospitality, plus his kindness and willingness to go over and above the extra mile to ensure that you are cared for and have everything you need..and on top of that, he also has great looks and personality, and an amazing smile! You can expect a very comfortable bedroom with stylish decor, fresh OJ and delicious... More »
My husband and I stayed with Hesham for two nights. He greeted us upon our arrival with a delicious homemade lunch, great warmth and friendliness. We felt like we were family - and wished that we were! Hesham is an extremely kind, intelligent and caring human being with a wonderful soul! He is also as handsome as his photo! Our bedroom was very, very comfortable, and Hesham's shower was awesome. This was our first airbnb experience and it was so positive that we will also be joining as... More »
I am very happy I ran across Hesham’s site as he was a blessing and wonderful host with his warm Moroccan hospitality! He went above my expectations and was very helpful in assisting me find my bearings in the city. He is the kind, friendly, caring host everybody has already mentioned and puts everyone at ease. We shared many laughs and exchanged opinions on all kinds of topics. I also learned a lot about the Islamic culture and its spirituality. I will definitely stay with him again. Highly... More »
While I only stayed with Hesham one night, I enjoyed my visit. What a gracious host,extemely caring and intelligent with a flare for making you feel like the most important person that ever visited Brooklyn! The mattress was extremely comfortable, the room quiet, and the decor very unique. Bathroom directly across the hall and ammenities plentiful. I will book again if only to have a 'chat' and a cup of fresh brewed coffee! thanks, Hesham!
Hesham is just as described, warm, hospitible and welcoming. He helped us with our luggage, cooked for us and gave us good advice. He goes out of his way to help. His apartment is 5 minutes walk from the subway direct to Manhattan ( 40 minutes ride to centre of Manhattan at $2 per person) There are trains 24 hours and it is a safe walk to and from station. Was a good experience for us. Thank you Hesham
Hesham looked after as as though we were family,a warm inviting flat close to the metro and shops and lots of different places to eat.He went above and beyond what we expected ,the flat was warm and very clean ,We would recommend to anyone thanks for a wonderful visit to New York.

Hesham was absolutely an amazing host. I would give him a perfect "10" on a 10 point scale. He is extremely gracious, hospitable, and kind. He is also a great guy. His apartment has an interesting decoration. I HIGHLY recommend this place and Hesham; he is superb.
A wonderful and accommodating host who upon last minute, organized our stay...while he was half way around the world in Morocco. The room is decorated with an exotic flair...lots of embroidered toss pillows on a 4 poster bed. Hesham's home is filled with interesting objects, books, and collectibles....all of which indicate an individual who holds promising tales of his travels and past.
I rented a single room for a two night stay and my opinion is more than positive!
Hesham is a trustworthy and very open minded person: he says what he means and means what he says. He's passionate about organic food and healthy lifestyle so we had a lot to talk about.
Last but not least, his house is a very comfortable place: it's a nice and warm flat, placed in a safe and clean area.
If you need a good and inexpensive accomodation in New York don't esitate to contact Hesham: you won't... More »
We are a family of three who rented the whole 83rd st. Brooklyn apartment for several days. The accomodations were comfortable with a sort of "home away from home" feeling. It is a very quite location with reasonable amenities. The location is convenient to retail shops and restaurants and the subway is only three blocks away. Among other things, it has one of the best showers in Brooklyn.
