Nick and Juani went above and beyond our expectations. To say they were attentive is an understatement. Nick drove us and picked us up from the ferry daily despite his busy schedule. They are excellent parents to Oliver, he is a very happy and adorable baby! 5 stars Superhosts! Highly recommended. The area was very safe and quiet with plenty of places in the area to order food from. Very clean and comfortable spacious room , it stays nice and cool on a hot summer day. There is an enormous TV in the room to watch movies on and the lamp doesn't get hot. Just what we needed. Thank you!Mieesha & StewartJuly 2016

Room is complete and clean. Tiffany is a nice host and willing to share and communicate. I will recommend this to others.Tze-KhaiJune 2016
Me and my two friends stayed at Tiffany's place for 3 nights but would have stayed longer if we could because this airbnb proved to be one of the best we have been in. Located in a beautiful, quite neighborhood on Staten Island (not too far from the Ferry) it is owned by a lovely family. The apartment is great! -super clean bathroom -big bedroom with good books -living room with cinema seats and big flatscreen -nicely equipped kitchen (you can see the water and the verrazano-narrows bridge from the kitchen!!!)LucJune 2016
Excellent place for our stay! Tiffany's family is wonderful and kind. The area is safe and peaceful. It offers amazing water views, nature - green lush trees and many birds especially a Cardinal you can view in the backyard from the kitchen window, comfortable neighborhood with beautiful homes (you may just forget New York City is nearby) and close walking proximity to the free 24 hour Ferry. Walking to the ferry is safe and easy, it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes depending how fast or leisurely I walk & stop lights to account for when crossing the streets so it can be faster for some people. The entire apartment is perfect for us as a couple, just enough space and comfort. The neighborhood is a great place to walk since it's safe and just beautiful viewing many different styles of homes that are well kept - I would recommend walking on Ward Ave then make a left on Nixon (a horseshoe street) beautiful homes with views of the Verrazano Bridge and it's a fairly quite street not busy with car traffic then you'll end back at Ward Ave and you can go further down or come back up. A few recommendations: On Victory Blvd there are many local restaurants and shops which are easy to walk to. At the end/beginning of Victory on Bay Street there is a grocery store, Key Food, again a very convenient walk. You can take a short cut to Victory Blvd from Tompkins Circle and walk down a staircase path way that is surrounded by greenery which is so beautiful. We have tried the Taco shop on the corner of Victory Blvd and Monroe Ave they offer authentic tacos which are delicious! Also, the Pastry shop across from the Taco shop offers authentic Spanish tasty pastries. On the corner of Victory Blvd and Van Duzer Street (walking towards Bay Street) there is a 99 cent plus and Hardware store a closer walk than the grocery store, Key food if you are in an immediate need of any personal items, toiletry items and even bottled water - a very convenient place since its just down from the short cut pathway. Also, if you walk on Van Duzer street you can try the restaurant Craft House, it's modern, casual, clean and comfortable which I tried their Chicken & Waffles and their famous roasted corn dip as an appetizer both are sooo delicious! Another is M & K Spanish cafe that offers homemade tasty food - walk down Victory Blvd and make a right on the first Bay Street before the park - cafe on the right. Then if you stay on that same Bay Street walk down there is a coffee & book shop called Everything Goes Book Cafe and Neighborhood stage - excellent coffee and pastries and they have a patio area where you can sit outside. If you need transportation there is a taxi stand at the ferry terminal which I paid $7...Georgina July 2016

My friends and I came from Minnesota, Canada and the Philippines, I booked Kim's place because it's got a great location. It's close to everything and the place was clean and spacious. I really loved how we can just walk outside and go to Macy's and other stores. When the kids accidentally locked one of the rooms he was fast to respond and got the room unlocked. They didn't have any elevators and the room was on the fourth floor so make sure you can walk up and down well. The meeting place was kinda far from the place. Overall, it was a great stay!LeticiaApril 2016
Il was great and responsive as we were checking in and super accommodating as we were in the residence.AJJune 2016
II's place was perfect for our needs. We had 8 dudes in town, everyone had a place to sleep in the unit. It ended up being 2 separate rooms across the hall from one another, which was great because both had their own bathroom and kitchen. The location was wonderful. Easy access to all trains, great parks, food and bars. Zero complaints about this one. 10/10 would stay there again.RyanApril 2016
The places was right in the middle of New York City... we felt like we were close to everything.Dave July 2016
It was a nice place. The area was nice! Lots of convenient shops and stores to get food. My large group was very satisfied. The place was basically 2 apartments combined but it was nice to have the whole floor to ourselves. The only thing that annoyed me was the fact that we had 4 sets of keys. It was difficult to pick which key opened which door. All in all, it was a great time! I 100% recommend this for large groups.MawuliJuly 2016
The location is good, within walking distance to Times Square, the Empire State building, etc. However the two apartments are small and could use a little more maintenance/renovation. We have 4 people staying in each apartment unit, and there was hardly enough room to sit and walk around. But if you, like us, are here only to sleep and plan to spend most of the day exploring the city, this should not be a problem - just know what to expect.JeremyMay 2016
The listing was generally accurate and the host was excellent. Very communicative and helpful. We were a little frustrated to spend $60 to leave 3 suitcases behind while we attended client meeting. And the shower did not heat up and there were no pillows on one of the beds. Overall, host very nice, facilities not the best.KirstenJuly 2016

The apt is great, it looks like the pictures. Full equipped and very good location. It is very close to the subway, directly connected to the center. We did not have the oportunity of meeting Rui, but he sorted out our doubts by email very fast. I totally recommend Rui's apt.EnriqueJune 2016
Excellent communication before my family and I arrived (we were 4 people), apartment perfectly located in upper west manhattan, easy access, near to Subway Station, very nice and safe nighborhood. There were clean towels and linens. Absolutly great choice for my family trip to explore NY for the first time, we felt like home. Thank you.EstebanApril 2016
This place was great!ingridJuly 2016
The listing is inaccurate. It states that check in time is 1pm; however, after booking, the information that Rui sent out indicated that check in time is 4pm. I contacted him regarding this discrepancy and he stated that the 4pm time frame is correct. I think this is a complete misrepresentation of the listing and I had indicated this to Rui. He stated that he would allow us to leave our bags and would try to have the house clean by 2pm. We arrived around 1:30pm to the location and it was in complete disarray and disgusting. The cleaners did arrive around 2pm; however we had to leave the place. There is garage parking around the area and it is convenient to the subway. There is an elevator. I would recommend bringing your own toiletries (there was shampoo, towels provided).AmyMay 2016
I enjoyed my stay at the Luxury Dream Suite and Rui was a friendly accommodating host. The apartment was very simple, uncluttered and very clean. The location is great, close to the subway and the buzz of Broadway. I had a little trouble with the lock when I first arrived, and Rui was immediately available by phone to quickly get me straightened out.SandraMay 2016

Konstantin's place was beautiful! Exactly as pictured. It was clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the building was secure and quiet. I especially loved the spotless bathroom, it looked brand new! We didn't get to meet him in person but he was quick to reply whenever we needed anything. The neighborhood was perfect. It's located on a quiet residential street but there are restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and shopping literally just around the corner. Plus Times Square is a quick 10 minute walk away. Perfect location, space, and neighborhood! Could not have asked for a better stay for my first time in New York.AprilJune 2016
I loved the privacy, location and Konstatin was so quick to address whatever question I had. Would definitely recomend. The place was so clean and cozy. Everything I needed was there. Would have stayed longer given the chance.Steffi MarieApril 2016
Konstantin was a great host. The condo was just as advertised and Konstantin was flexible with key pick up.RobertJune 2016
Konstantin's place was incredible. Not only is it a beautiful and spacious apartment, but its location is unbeatable. It is in Hell's Kitchen, right outside of the insanity of Times Square but still close enough to access the top tourist spots and subways. Konstantin is easy to contact, flexible, and professional. My daughter and I had an excellent experience and would definitely book again. Thank you for your hospitality!MarthaJuly 2016
Konstantin was punctual and accommodating. He helped us with bags and fully explained the apartment. The apartment itself was extremely clean and more spacious than we expected. Great location within walking distance of Broadway and lots of great Hell's Kitchen restaurants.ZacharyMay 2016
Konstantin was extremely accessible, professional and helpful. Despite not having the address and the check-in time not being ideal for me, he made arrangements for someone to meet me earlier and let me in. He was also quick to respond my text or phone when I had a question, i.e. how to work the hulu television and how to check out. Only thing that wasn't 100% wonderful, was not knowing the address ahead of time. Gave me a little sense of unease initially and then when going back on my own, I had forgotten to look and see what the building number was as I had been following the person checking me in. But I just called Konstantin and he answered immediately and took care of it. Apartment is good size for NY for 1, max 2 people. Plenty of windows too which is a major bonus for NY. Location ideal for most things in NY too and felt very safe. Building felt safe and people I met in the halls were all very friendly. I am a woman who was there on her own for work, and felt very comfortable. Highly recommend.SarahJune 2016
Great place. Konstantin was extremely nice, the apartment was very clean and pleasant.SolJuly 2016
Konstantine was very flexible, we had issues meeting him at the time we were supposed to, so he made arrangements to make things more convenient for us to check in.

Natalie and Morris made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Morris met us with the keys and explained everything about the room and even about the city to us in detail. They were always available via text if anything happened and I felt very at home during my stay.Natalie June 2016
The hosts were responsive and worked with me to find a way to get my luggage off my hands until I could check in. The room is well appointed and a perfect place for a quick work trip to NYC or for a couple on vacation.JonathanMay 2016
We stayed 7 nights and i can definitely recommend this place for: 1/ the great central NY location, the 8 mn walk to 50 st/ 8 subway, convenient and quick conections to all 3 airports, times square a few blocks away, restos, supermarkets, delis, you name it, all around you! 2/ a clean and very well proportioned apartment space (kichen, bathroom, livingoom & closet) so it was a comfy space for 2. An EXCELLENT mattress, you don't ever feel the person next to you move!! 3/ our hosts were very welcoming, flexible and available, they did everything to make our stay as flawless as possible and they did! Almost Hotel service! The only pity was the lack of outside view and the ventilation noise (which is acceptable). Other than that, there was very little noise from the street, so it was very quiet and a really nice place to come home to after a long day out in the NY buzz!DorineMay 2016
Great Appartment and a great Host. Helpful and communicative. We booked last minute and they did their best to help us. They allowed us to check in later and even check out later than the time they wrote. The Appartment is as described, maybe even bigger. The location was awesome. Would definitely book again and recommend! Felt Save.MarianJuly 2016
The host is incredibly courteous. The apartment is clean & well-situated. We appreciate sparse, modern new decor, bottled water, and toiletries. Highly-recommended!M.May 2016

Clean and well presented flat in great location within walking distance of Manhattan's best sites. Well managed by Tina, who was very responsive throughout the process. We had a brilliant stay.RhianJune 2016
Our host, Tina was very accommodating, and we actually had 7 people sleeping there at one time but there was plenty of room. The kitchen was very functional although we didn't actually cook anything. It was a great location and although extremely noisy at times, we all agreed we would rent it again. Thanks to Tina for providing a jar of earplugs for sleeping!TammyFebruary 2016
Tina let us keep our bags at the apartment before and after check in due to our flight times. She gave us recommendations on how to get places and where to go. Such a great apartment for 6 girls, a good location and provided everything that we needed. Below the apartment is a bar and we felt like we became "regulars" bc we went all the time! Tina also provided ear plugs and a sound machine for the front room that faces the busy street and can be louder bc of the bar- we didn't even need them though.AshleeMarch 2016
Tina met us late at night and we were so pleased the apartment was ready-stocked with coffee and beer which was a really nice touch. When we left, Tina was fine with us leaving at 5PM which helped as our flight was not until 9. All in all, Tina is very accommodating and professional and I would definitely rebook with her.NigelMarch 2016
Tina was very responsive and easy to work with. The place was comfy and cozy. :) Happy campers!TheresaOctober 2015
The location was EXTREMELY convenient. Steps away from Penn Station, so the noise was to be expected, but the back two bedrooms are very quiet. The apartment is very clean. Had everything we needed. Fold-out couch, too.ShanDecember 2015
The apartment was perfect for our family weekend in New York city. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean. It was conveniently located withing a short walk to Times Square. Pretty much everything was as advertised in the listing. Thanks Tina!MichelAugust 2015
Tina met us at the apartment and was very gracious! Great location and 2 blocks from Penn Station. Noisy at night because one bedroom/ living room over a very open to the street bar. But don't let that stop you from renting this apartment. The 2 bedrooms in the back are very quiet.LaurieAugust 2015

The listing description was completely accurate and the location of the apartment worked very well for us.

The woman with the key met us exactly on time and oriented us to the apartment. We would definitely stay here again on another visit.KarenDecember 2014

I had a wonderful stay at Rafael & Rosita's studio. It was small but really quite perfect for 1-2 people looking for something other than a hotel stay and not wanting to spend a lot of time in the room. It' was very clean when I arrived and about the same size as an average hotel room, plus I loved having a kitchen. The location was ideal, set in the heart of the lower east side and only 3 blocks from the L train. They were incredibly accommodating (meeting me an hour after originally planned to pick up the keys!) and always fast to respond to my e-mails. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!NoreenNovember 2014

Excellent hosting. As soon as I was arrived, I was offered juice. They allowed me to check in before the said time as I was arriving early in the morning. They also helped me figure out the subway routes within the city and I was given a detailed description of which buses and subway lines to avail in order to make it to their place before my arrival. Also, I was offered tea by them as I was leaving. It was a good experience overall.AaishaApril 2016

I found my satay at Yuchen very pleasant. I was only there for one night but they were very accommodating with my movement and helpful. I which I had found Yuchen earlier as it would have been a good stay, easy access to subway and some trendy places close by to enjoy.DustinFebruary 2014
great location, room was perfect with excellent facilities and transport links into Manhattan. A great deal of effort was made to ensure I had a smooth arrival as Yucen was out of townRickyNovember 2014
From the first moment on, we felt welcome in Yuchen's apartment. It is nice and cozy, with an equipped kitchen and a clean bathroom. Close to public transport and in a good area of Brooklyn/Queens. Yuchen knows how to welcome guests in her home and if we had questions, we could always come to her. The only negative thing with that room is, that you can hear everything from the neighbours (who turned on their music on a very high level). That was disturbing, but at least, they were quiet at night. We would definitely recommend that place and hope to come back one day! Thank you Yuchen!PhilippApril 2015

So Easy To Get to The Subway!
My family had a great time at Alvaro's 3 bdrm Apt in Bay Ridge. The location is perfect for anyone looking to spend time in a safe Brooklyn neighborhood. There are plenty of shops and places to eat nearby, and a trip to Manhattan is easy accessible with nearby subway station (R train). Check in was convenient and Alvaro made sure the room was ready for our arrival after our arrival at JFK.MarioSeptember 2015
This was our first time to use Airbnb for a family holiday and couldn't ask for more.If you want a clean spacious apt close to all services this is the place. Didn't meet Alvaro but instructions for entry were very simple.Alvaro was always a phone call away but didn't need him during our stay. The neighborhood is fantastic and safe.I would let my kids 16 +13 go to the shops by themselves without any worry.A few minutes walk will get you to a subway station and have you in the city in 40/50 minutes (if staying 7 or more days get unlimited subway ticket).Lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance also. Beds were super comfy and kids delighted to have room each.As said previously this isn't the Hilton but we will never stay in a hotel again when you can have some much space for a lot cheaper price.I would have no problem recommending this apt to any family and if we ever get the chance to come back to New York I would definitely stay here again.AdrianJune 2016
It was a very nice house, the beds were very comfortable and the house is close to the both the subway and the bus stops. The house was stocked with everything and very clean. I would definitely recommend this place. The owner was flexible with the check out time and was very friendly. Great Place overall.NithinFebruary 2016
It's really a nice place to live in! Within walking distance to the R subway station, which is the fastest way to go to Manhattan. Also there are lots of restaurants and grocery stores near the house. The house is very clean and a nice place to stay!!FanDecember 2015
A group of us came into town for a city wide event. Very nice neighborhood. Lots of beds to choose from so we could accommodate everyone. Comfortable and clean. Well stocked with the necessaries. I'd rent again if I came back to the area and needed a place for a group to stay.MelissaMay 2016
The place is really nice and the neighborhood is great! 3 bedrooms with a kitchen that accommodated 9 guests. We were running late, and Alvaro was already at the place waiting for us. We got there but he had left to get dinner. We waited awhile but the neighbor downstairs was kind enough to let us in! We eventually got to meet alvaro:) He toured us around the house. The place is close to subway, about a few blocks walk. Conveniently located to Dunkin Donuts, shops, and other restaurants! Some cons, if you have a car, parking kind of sucks. If you're driving home late, you won't find any parking on the same block. Another thing that we didn't like and only happened once, was a car alarm going off early in the morning, for about 30 min if not more. That was kind of annoying, but other than that, I highly recommend going back! Thanks Alvaro!LeahOctober 2015
The apartment was nice and clean. Exactly as in photos. Alvaro provided towels, bedding and also free wifi access. Neighbourhood was quiet, friendly looking and not far from subway. Took us about 35min to get to Manhattan. Wouldn't mind coming back anytime.JiriOctober 2015

Also the location is great to explore Manhatten, which is easily reached via Williamsburg Bridge, but also Brooklyn which has its own mesmerizing flair. Lots of nice bars and shops nearby. We really loved it! Alex is also a very nice and pleasant host, who gives all the necessary and asked information and advise. We would definitely stay at his place again and highly recommend it.

Alex has a great apartment, which looked exactly like his pictures. He went out of his way to make sure that we were looked after and that we felt at home. The apartment is located in a very nice part of Williamsburg, close to the Subway, grocery stores, amazing restaurants, and attractive sights (right next to the Williamsburg bridge!). Alex provided detailed suggestions for things to do in Brooklyn and Manhattan, and has an incredibly in-depth knowledge of the city. We'd suggest this listing to anyone, and recommend taking the time to get to know your host (and be sure to talk about Cocoa Beach).AlecMarch 2015

Although we did not get a chance to say Hi to Alex, his apartment was perfect for our weekend trip to Williamsburg. The room was clean, there was AC, and it was very easy to get to the train to go to Manhattan. Also, there was a Citi bike docking station right near the apartment, which was perfect for biking around the city.NicoleJuly 2015

The apartment is in a good location, easy walking to Union Square. The apartment is fairly spacious and very cosy. It is a nice place to come back to everyday, and lots of light too with windows facing the street. I was very happy with my stay there and would stay again. Also Lior and Liraz always responded very promptly to any queries I had.NickyFebruary 2013
Great location, very clean, situated above an extremely handy, 24 hour diner. Liraz and Lior live in the upstairs apartment and were very attentive and helpful hosts, responding quickly to the niggly problems we had with the air mattresses. Our stay coincided with a brutal new York heatwave and Lior brought us an extra fan to supplement the apartment's very efficient AC and a huge water cooler. One suggestion tho, the air beds are a pain in the neck for longer stays (we were there for two weeks) and if the owner is going to rent out on a regular basis it would nice if she switched the sofa for a sofa-bed, there is more than enough room and it would be so much more comfortable. But that said, we had a fantastic stay in the big apple and we would definitely stay here again when we come back.NgoziJuly 2013

Patricia is a very kind host. The communication with her was very easy. Even though that was´t necessary she showed up after our arrival to make sure we have everything we need. The apartment is nice and the beds were very comfy. But a negative point is that it is very far from the ferry to NYC. We thought that it would not be that far but it takes a while if you wanna go to the city. Depending on what you are in the area of you might want to consider that.IlkaJune 2016
My stay in Patricia's home was very relaxing. The description of the apartment was exactly what it is. The directions that our host provided also were exact and on point. The only reason I needed help was entering the apartment, and that was my fault for skimming through more directions Patricia very considerately provided. Anything I needed was a few blocks away...coffee shop, grocery store, and public transportation are all less than a 10 min walk.JoseMarch 2016
Patricia met us on Saturday at the time that we had set. We couldn't check in until 4 PM because of other guest and cleaning. She allowed us us to store our luggage while she was having the house cleaned. That was a big plus for us. The house was exactly as described. The neighborhood was very nice and felt safe. We definitely recommend her place for anyone wanting to stay away from the big city.BrianApril 2016
Patricia was very acomodating, place was very comfortable, in a very nice area and it had all the basics needed for our stay! Even though we were aware of the distance to Manhattan, it did take longer than expected, about 1 1/2 hrs each way. Even though I must say the railway & ferry rides were very enjoyable! :) My family and I had an awesome vacation!MajoraineJune 2016
We absolutely loved the apartment! It looked better than it did in the pictures, and everything was clean, neat, and welcoming. Patricia was helpful in giving us tips on the best ways to get around, and made sure we were all set. Super friendly, and a great host.DylanMarch 2016
Micki & Patricia were wonderful host. Due to big snow storm in NY, we changed our travelling plan. When we made the final decision and made a very late reservation, I was worried that I might not get any reply. But they replied to me so promptly and made it work just in time.Besides, they were so nice to let us park our car in their drive way while parked their cars in the snowy and slippery street sides. We really enjoyed our stay there. We highly recommend people to stay in this apartment.AngelaFebruary 2014

Sinhala was great, she responded to my questions and concerns quickly and politely. The space was amazing, and felt very comfortable.OwenJune 2016
Subhana was a very professional host, replying to our requests quickly and helping us whenever she could! The apartment was very beautiful, clean, light and spacious in a nice typical Brooklyn home. We felt very comfortable in the area, as it provided a safe family environment and an interesting, lively atmosphere at the same time. Very different from Manhattan – in a good way!DarioMay 2014
The apartment is exactly as described and even more. Subhana and her family are wonderful hosts, quick in response and very reliable. I never locked up the apartment from the first day on. The apartment is in an old building, very tastefully furnished and located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bed-Sty). People look you in the eyes to greet you when you walk by. The Subway Station (Lines A and C) to Manhatten are near by (6 min. walk), the Laundry Service is within the same block. I enjoyed this place very much to get away from the hustle and bustle of Manhatten and could recommend it any time and hope to be back for my next visit.EstherJune 2016

Steven was a great host. He kindly accommodated our travel delay, allowing us to check-in a little later than planned. Communication is key. The apartment was small but clean and convenient. Works great for two people. The location is a near the SI Ferry, making travel into Manhattan easy.McCallJune 2016
Steven was an amazing host. He was waiting for us right outside the place when we arrived, he made us feel very welcoming and answered all of our questions. I was very impressed with the place, it was very comfy and roomy, a bit cold but he provided us with a potable heather which was great! The location is a bit far from the city but the great news is that there is a ferry about 8 minutes away that takes you right into the city for FREE. Overall we were very comfortable and happy.MaribelMarch 2016
It was an excellent apartment located in a great place. Really close to everything. We really enjoyed staying at Stevens apt. I really recommend it to anyone.YuryMay 2016
I felt the reviews for this place were incorrect. Basically, this is a basement with concrete floors that have been painted. Throwing down some cheap carpet would help greatly. You walk behind a decent looking house/apt. into a small parking lot with some stuff dumped in the corner to an obscure door, this is the room. It is one room with a sink and counter, small fridge and hotplate. Don't expect to cook or prepare a meal here, there isn't enough of anything to do that. The walls and floors look like it is in a basement. The 2nd bed wasn't a bed, it is a hard couch thing that my 2nd daughter had to sleep on. There was only 1 pillow for each of us, which wasn't enough. The bathroom is nice, super small, but at least that was expected. Steven is very nice and helpful, but I would never stay here again and I wish that others who had stayed here left a more honest review. This may be fine for some people, but it was not what I was expecting.LizbethApril 2016

Fernando is a great host. His place is well-kept, he is super friendly and helpful, and he repaired a water problem promptly! In addition his place is in a great neighborhood.PamelaJune 2016
Fernando was friendly, helpful and met me at the apartment upon arrival. Complex is secure and apartment is as host states - newly remodeled apartment with new beds and linens, and updated kitchen furnished with utensils. Quick walk to the 7, many restaurant choices and supermarkets within 1 or 2 blocks walking distance. Enjoyed our 9 day stay and will come back to this location!DrakeDecember 2015
Fernando was a great host who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He was extremely quick with all responses and questions which goes a long way. The place was very clean with a nice bathroom and plenty of sleeping room. I kid you not that he got hit by a car riding his bike to meet us to let us in and still showed up shortly after. Highly recommended.AndrewMay 2016
Fernando is a very kind and considerate host who goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome. The apartment is very clean and relatively spacious. Although it is very conveniently located for the 7 local (only half a block away) train noise is not a problem. Despite these good features, I do think the apartment is considerably overpriced. The nightly cost (the price we paid Airbnb plus the additional 20% tax we paid directly to Fernando) wound up being about the same as the nightly cost at the four star hotel in central Manhattan which happened to be the next stop on our itinerary - yet the apartment's furnishings are modest, the closets contain no hangers, and there are considerably nicer buildings and blocks in Jackson Heights than the ones where this apartment are located.EliseMarch 2016
This apartment was pretty nice inside. The outside is a bit deceiving (it's an old building) but once you're inside the apartment unit, you can see that it's been newly renovated and it's a pretty nice spot for 1-4 people to stay. Fernando was also a nice host when we arrived, he was flexible with our arrival time, greeted us upon arrival, and was friendly and welcoming throughout those interactions. One downside was that it was very hot in the apartment. It was in the very high 80s, low 90s while we were there and the apartment was VERY warm (it's on the 4th floor) and there was no fan or AC to provide relief from the heat. Luckily, my parents live in NYC so we were able to borrow a fan from them but I would definitely suggest requesting one or bringing one with you if you're staying there in hot weather. There are also no screens on any of the windows so it was a trade off between getting whatever air we could from outside vs. opening up the entire apartment to bugs etc from the outside. Unfortunately, our trip ended with me requesting a refund for my last night because as my girlfriend and I were getting ready to fall asleep, my gf was lying in bed and a cockroach literally fell from the ceiling on top of her! We immediately left the Airbnb in the middle of the night and I explained the situation to Fernando and asked if he would refund our last night. Message here: Hi Fernando. Thank you so much for hosting us. It was great to have a nice spot to go back to at the end of the day while we were in NYC. Unfortunately, on our last night there (Sunday) we were getting ready to go to sleep, Sara was laying down and a cockroach fell from the ceiling onto her. It was a pretty uncomfortable experience so we left immediately after that. I understand if it's not possible for any reason but I'm wondering if maybe we can have our last night refunded? I also did try to kill it because it was flying around at us as we packed our things but I had no luck. Last we saw it, it was in the closet by the restroom. Fernando then responded by saying that he was sorry this happened, would offer us the refund, but that we had chipped his wooden table and requested that we pay him up to $100 to fix it. I explained that I have no idea how his table could have been chipped by us because we honestly didn't even use the table. He did offer us the refund but rather than end up in a debate and drawing out an already pretty bad experience, I responded to Fernando saying that we could just forget about it and that he could forget about the refund, use it to fix the table if it's...KadenJune 2016
Excellent host. Spacious and newly renovated apartment with extremely comfortable beds and generous kitchen with all amenities in a safe neighborhood. Location is amazing as well. It's less than 2min walk to subway with ease of access to Manhattan, Airport and Port Authority Bus Terminal.Fernando gave us good orientation on arrival and stayed in touch via text message to make sure we are comfortable at his place. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the big apple.jayJanuary 2016
Feels like a home. Great experince. Fernando is a great host.He make sure about everything if we are enjoying our stay or not. Recommend to everybody.shrijanaMarch 2016
The place was exactly the same like the photos. Everything is nice and very clean, esp the bathroom. The location was awesome because it's very close to the subway station. Very accessible to anything that you need, from food to toiletries. Fernando was a good host. Although he doesn't live there, it was very easy to reach him, either by text or by a phone call and was very patient regarding our situation. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this place, and we're looking forward staying in this home again.EpiroseApril 2016

I have created a twentyeleven child theme with the following code in the style.css file:

I previously had already done some work on my site, like adding plugins, addings another menu, addings pages etc.
But I had not edited any theme css files.
When I activate the theme, the new header is about the only thing that is still right, everything else is completely mangled.
Am I missing something here? Should I have added some other files or folders for it to work.
Thanks for any help.

First off let me say that I am a frequent visitor to NYC. I have family there and sometimes stay with them and sometimes in a hotel. I choose the hotel based on what else I am doing during my visit. Location is not always the primary consideration because when you are in NYC, there is so much to do all over the city that you will be walking, taking a cab or the subway at some point no matter what.
That being said for this trip I chose the Mamara based on its proximity to my relatives and that my husband and I were travelling with 2 teenagers so the space and the extra half bath were a plus. We were there for a week in a 1 bedroom Deluxe with one and a half baths.
Location – as mentioned the location on the Upper East Side is not a problem. The subway is less than a 10 min walk away. There are lots of small shops and restaurants in the area so you can easily find what you need.
Noise – Yes there is construction and 2nd ave and in addition, there is a building being worked on behind it too. The morning does get noisy but it is New York – it is noisy no matter what. Bring ear plugs.
Staff – the staff is friendly and will always greet you etc.
Rooms – the rooms are best described as tired. The decor is dated, and just tired. The bed is fairly comfortable and we sleep well. The sofa bed in the living room however was not comfortable and had some loose springs. There are only blinds that you pull down so they do not block out the light in the morning, it would be nice to have curtains along with the blinds. We only had two chairs in the dining area, would have been nice to have 4. The rooms fairly clean but things such a shampoo were not restocked during the week. It was nice to have the kitchen and we bought some groceries so we could have breakfast in the mornings. We still went out to get coffee because I find those little coffee makers just do not make good coffee.
The biggest disappointment was the location of our room. We booked the Deluxe One Bedroom which at the time of our booking stated on the website that those rooms were located on floors 11-19. When we checked in we were given a room on the 4th floor. I asked if there were any available on a higher floor and I was told that there were none and that they are more popular and usually taken by longer term guests. A few days later I checked on the website and confirmed that it stated the Deluxe rooms are on floors 11-19, I went to the front desk and asked again. I was given the same explanation as though I was making a special request even though it was the description of the room category I had booked 4 months before. I explained what it stated on the website and there was some confusion amongst the staff if it did say that. At no point did anyone apologise or offer any other recourse. In fairness they did call and offer us a room on a higher floor but by then we were 4 days into our stay, we had done shopping and we were spread out and to pack everything up and move would have just been very inconvenient at that point. Since I thought I had paid to ensure my room was on a higher floor and I did not get it, it made my stay there less enjoyable.
I just checked the website and they have now changed it to read that all One Bedrooms are located on floors 3-19. At least other travellers will now not be disappointed by not getting what they booked.
I would say overall our stay was decent and would be ok to recommend it but I would not rush back to there personally.

Positive Living: Looking After Yourself (cont.)
Individual needs can vary when you have HIV so you may want your medical provider to refer you to a registered dietician who has experience working with HIV positive people. Changes in your health status may require more (or less) calories in your diet. Your dietician can help you achieve this with a balanced diet. In addition, the combination anti-retroviral therapies require a strict regimen regarding food intake, which can greatly affect your individual nutritional needs.
General Nutrition
To make oatmeal or grits more interesting add dried fruits, milk, or grated cheese. If you have a freezer and a toaster, frozen waffles make a great quick meal or snack. You can always add fruit on top to help boost your daily fruit intake. Try cold macaroni salad with added vegetables, a chopped hard-boiled egg and dressing. All of these combinations boost protein and might help fight food boredom.
Fruits and Vegetables
A good goal is to eat three to five servings of fruit and vegetables each day. A serving of fruit is one piece of raw fruit or a cup of canned fruit; fruit juices are good for you but they don't count as a serving. One serving of vegetables is one half cup of cooked or a whole cup of raw vegetables.
Fruit is a perfect snack. You can always carry a banana, apple, or orange with you for when you get hungry on the run. Adding raisins to cereal is another way to boost your intake. Canned fruit is also great because you can get it any time of year. The nutritional value may be a little lower, but it still counts. The fruit cocktail "snack packs" in the stores are great things to keep around or throw in your purse or backpack for when you get a craving. Boxed fruit juice (100% juice) is another good traveling companion. In summertime, freezing juice in ice cube trays is a great way to beat the heat.

National Theatre of Scotland - The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart
Performing Arts
The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart
"The whole story is staged with a terrific, inventive sense of fun…more vibrantly, sexily alive than any piece of theatre I've seen in Scotland for years."—The Scotsman [Edinburgh]
The very definition of a fun-filled theatrical experience, the National Theatre of Scotland's rollicking production The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart was a universally acclaimed hit at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival. In its pub-like setting—complete with bar service—you'll delight in the antics of actor/musicians who circulate through the crowd while spinning a hilarious tale set in modern-day Scotland.
On the morning of the winter solstice, Prudencia Hart, a prim, uptight academic, sets off to attend a conference in a small town in Scotland. The town is Kelso in the Scottish Borders, the area along the English-Scottish border known for its romantic history (it's the land of Sir Walter Scott) and its traditional Border ballads. The snow begins to fall, and little does she know who or what awaits her. Prudencia's dream-like journey of self-discovery unfolds among and around the audience, delivered in a riotous romp of rhyming couplets inspired by those Border Ballads, devilish encounters, and wild karaoke.
So pull up a chair and wet your whistle for an evening of anarchic theater, live music, and supernatural goings-on in a brash comedy that pulls you into a captivating web of plot twists. The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart is a laugh-out-loud show you'll long remember.
Here are some more raves for Prudencia Hart.
"You shouldn't miss this show for the world.… Four Stars."—The Herald [Edinburgh]
"The staging is energetic…the script fast and witty. It's lyrical, beautiful, boozy, hysterical, philosophical.… Prudencia Hart is a thrilling, musical, mystical joy."—Big Issue [UK]
"What's really clever about this National Theatre of Scotland production is not just that it is itself a ballad about ballads written in the form of a ballad, rhyming couplets and all…nor is it just its inventive staging, performed in a bar, or its terrific performances by the five-strong cast of actor musicians. It's that it gets right to the heart of the Scots' schizophrenic relationship with their own culture which they love and hate, identify with and deny, in equal measure, often all in the same sentence."—The Times [London]

Great day out with a lovely tour guide and a group of 8.
Great tour if you are are interested in learning about the region's history, wine making and overall picture of the amazing wine industry in France. Medoc region is the heart of all things wine and highly recommend if you love blends of Merlot and Cab sav. The blend is heavy on the Merlot side and may not be what you're used to if you love California Cab sav but it is still a worthwhile experience in this amazing country! About a 30-45 minute drive with you guide from Bordeaux and you'll see beautiful country as well.
As a wine novice I found this tour very informative and approachable. Our guide (remi) was very friendly and helpful throughout and I feel it was time and money very well spent. Would highly recommend it
Very nice chateaus and very nice and good guides! Lots of fun very nice wine!!
Excellent tour - we had a lot of fun. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly.
Would definitely recommend.
Was a great day visiting St-Emilion and some Chateaux nearby.
This was a great trip. A very friendly group of six with a wonderful English speaking guide. The winery visits were very professional and, even though we thought we knew a lot about wine, we learned a lot.
Wholeheartedly recommended!
Berit was great. She was knowledgeable, hospitable, and funny. Definitely worth it.
Lovely, tour operator was efficient and very friendly.
So much knowledge and able to answer all the questions!
Went with my two daughters to St. Emilion, visited two chateaux. Claire, our tour guide was lots of fun and knowledgeable. She had so much information to offer throughout the afternoon tour, even when visiting the little village, she continued to share history and fun facts about the town for those who wanted to hear. We had the choice of visiting some of the little shops that were still open if we wanted to. Would highly recommend this tour!
really love the trip. great value and friendly tour. will be back again
What a great time! My mom joined a group of six others for the St. Emilion tour. Pierre was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable and down-to-earth. The two chateaus we visited had some great wines and the tours were really interesting. I would highly recommend Bordovino and Pierre!
It was nice and I learned some things.The Viator tour guide was friendly and helpful. It was special to have time in the town of St. Emilion afterwards. It would have been nice to have a luncheon at the winery rather than just the cheeseboard.
Highly organised. Reme was friendly and informative, willing to answer questions at any time.
Well worth the money. Tour guide Julie was great. The whole experience was great fun and very informative.
Scenery was fantastic and the 2 Chateaus we visited were top class.
Wonderful tour. Great if you only can fit in a half day tour. It was fun visiting a try wine producer and finding out about the region and the Medoc wines in general.
Tour was great! Could not have asked for better, Great Job.
We had a lovely experience with our small group and tour guide Marie. She was able to explain the difference in regions and history of the area. The wine tasting was delicious and scenery magnificent.
The trip was fantastic and our guide Fiona was knowledgable and amazing fun. I'd highly recommend this tour experience.
both already submitted and password not accepted - pull up my report as it is OK as is and I'm not going to re-type
Very enjoyable and informative tour in a small group. The guide was very knowledgeable and hosted the day very well. The tour really makes the most of the time available without feeling rushed. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in wine.
The day was amazing. Remi, the guide, was so knowledgeable about the history of area and the making of wine. He was so proud of his country and it showed. When visiting the different Chateaux's we were the only ones present so the tour was very personal. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a small group setting with the best host from Bordeaux.
Great tour! Really felt as if we were able to see things we wouldn't have known to do without the guidance of our wonderful tour guide. Completely worth it!
This was excellent! Small group and great places to visit. The bus was comfortable and the guide congenial.
I thought it was little bit pricey compared to other trips, but I booked it anyway because I was booking the trip 3 hours before its departure. I absolutely loved it. The guides toured us were knowledgeable and passionate about what they were talking about. I recommend this trip.

Xinyuan Real Estate (XIN): Q3 EPS of $0.44. Revenue of $226.1M (+6% Y/Y) beats by $6M. (PR)

Xinyuan Real Estate (XIN): Q3 EPS of $0.44. Revenue of $226.1M (+6% Y/Y) beats by $6M. (PR)
Comments (8)
Q2 2012 was abnormally strong EPS, prob due to great gains on sales of buildings (not sure though). The down 50% means nothing in this case.. EPS is up 2.2% from the Q3 Y/Y 2011 EPS. so cant necessarily compare to Q2 as it is an outlier. The Q2 EPS was a 118% increase from Q2 2011, and a 199% increase from Q1 2012.

A new approach to regularization methods for image processing is introduced and developed using as a vehicle the problem of computing dense optical flow fields in an image sequence. The solution of the new problem formulation is computed with an efficient multiscale algorithm. Experiments on several image sequences demonstrate the substantial computational savings that can be achieved due to the fact that the algorithm is noniterative and in fact has a per pixel computational complexity that is independent of image size. The new approach also has a number of other important advantages. Specifically, multiresolution flow field estimates are available, allowing great flexibility in dealing with the tradeoff between resolution and accuracy. Multiscale error covariance information is also available, which is of considerable use in assessing the accuracy of the estimates. In particular, these error statistics can be used as the basis for a rational procedure for determining the spatially-varying optimal reconstruction resolution. Furthermore, if there are compelling reasons to insist upon a standard smoothness constraint, the new algorithm provides an excellent initialization for the iterative algorithms associated with the smoothness constraint problem formulation. Finally, the usefulness of the approach should extend to a wide variety of ill-posed inverse problems in which variational techniques seeking a "smooth" solution are generally used

Wright Words: Spending the day with the Baltimore Mormon missionaries on #socialmediasplit
Before leaving, the elders shared tips for Fernando to continue his own preparation to serve a mission upon graduation from high school. As they spoke, I created another collage of several photos and posted them in a single image. Not only was the family willing to have their pictures taken, they were excited for their friends and family to know the elders had stopped by for a visit.
Our next stop was a Latino market to visit a man named Roy. "We go where we need to go," the elders told me. "We don't like to bother people at work, but he's said it's all right and we've been there before." Between his helping customers, they invited Roy to a soccer game and lobbed friendly trash-talk back and forth. Like the others, Roy was intrigued by my explanation of my experiment with the missionaries and was perfectly happy to have his picture taken and shared online. "How's my hair?" he joked as I stepped back and took an action shot.
Later, we visited an investigator named Nelson in Pikesville and taught him about Joseph Smith's First Vision. When Nelson shared that he was unsure how to pray, the elders took turns giving suggestions and invited him to pray with them on the spot. Nervous but willing, the three men knelt at wooden kitchen chairs and Nelson prayed with humbling sincerity.
"Fantastic! Amazing! Beautiful!" the elders praised.
Before leaving, I thanked him for allowing me to share some of our experience online but also assured him the social media campaign did not overshadow the real reason for the visit. I offered my own testimony of the restored gospel, invited him to be baptized and promised to be there when it happened. Neither Nelson nor I needed a hashtag to tell us the Spirit was trending with us both.
Our last stop before returning to their apartment for the night was with a recent convert. While Burrup helped a child with math homework, just a few feet away, Herzog chatted with the mother about the weather and Mexican food. "Can we pray together?" Herzog asked as we prepared to leave.
A few moments later on the sidewalk I noticed the elders practically bouncing with excitement. I asked, "Did I miss something?"
"She's never wanted to say a prayer before!" Herzog said. "Did you catch that, Elder Burrup?" They discussed the development for much of the drive home.
At 9:30 p.m., we walked back into their living room. "Right on time," Herzog said. "We have to be home by now at the latest." Then he turned to his companion before the door was even shut. "Ready to plan for tomorrow?" (See Calderon's post on Storify.com for many of the posts from that day.)
Preparing for my long drive home that night, I sat in my car and shared a final post on my memorable experience with the elders. I marveled at how in a single day we'd performed some service, worked with less-active members, engaged in finding activities, met with other missionaries and coordinated with members. Sitting alone, I contemplated how their enthusiasm, their desire for obedience and their teaching skills proved the bar had truly been raised.
I also took time to thank heaven that the Spirit had been our most important companion of the day, and I enjoyed a few sweet tears that testified our day had been filled with the kind of light that only truth brings.
In the days since my adventure with these impressive and righteous servants of the Lord, I've considered how much has changed since my own mission. With cellphones in every pocket and with the Internet and social media available to almost everyone, we're blessed with so many more ways to share the gospel, to engage in service with other faiths and to fellowship than at any point in history.
So much more, however, remains the same. The study time, the meetings, the correlation and the need for practice is universal. And, of course, the overarching goal will never change: to invite others to learn more and, eventually, to enter the waters of baptism and become converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
When and if you choose to spend time with the missionaries and participate in the #socialmediasplit campaign, you might find one other constant from your own mission or that of a loved one. The most important conversion for these missionaries and their 83,000 counterparts around the world probably won't be that of someone they saw on a train or a pier.
It's that of the one in the mirror.

Nanorobot Targets Cells
Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have developed a robotic device made from DNA that could potentially seek out specific cell targets within a complex mixture of cell types and deliver important molecular instructions, such as telling cancer cells to self-destruct. Inspired by the mechanics of the body's own immune system, the technology might one day be used to program immune responses to treat various diseases. The research findings appear in today's issue of Science.
Using the DNA origami method, in which complex three-dimensional shapes and objects are constructed by folding strands of DNA, Shawn Douglas, a Wyss Technology Development Fellow, and Ido Bachelet, a former Wyss Postdoctoral Fellow who is now an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Nano-Center at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, created a nanosized robot in the form of an open barrel whose two halves are connected by a hinge. The DNA barrel, which acts as a container, is held shut by special DNA latches that can recognize and seek out combinations of cell-surface proteins, including disease markers. When the latches find their targets, they reconfigure, causing the two halves of the barrel to swing open and expose its contents, or payload. The container can hold various types of payloads, including specific molecules with encoded instructions that can interact with specific cell surface signaling receptors.
"We can finally integrate sensing and logical computing functions via complex, yet predictable, nanostructures—some of the first hybrids of structural DNA, antibodies, aptamers and metal atomic clusters—aimed at useful, very specific targeting of human cancers and T-cells," said George Church, a Wyss core faculty member and Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, who is principal investigator on the project.
