Hello. I'm offering my son's old bedroom on Homestay. I'm 76, but I have a 21 year old son. And he's gone off to college. The place feels empty without him. I used to be with Airbnb, and I've had many guests. It's been fun to have the guests here. But Airbnb is ok if you're dealing with the right person. If you're not dealing with the right person, Airbnb can be hard to deal with. So I decided I'd list on Homestay. Now, here's the interesting thing - and it's why I state Broadway?. I'm an actor. I've done 9 Broadway shows. Won the Drama Desk Award and a Theatre World award for my performance as Tobias in the original company of SWEENEY TODD on Broadway with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou. So I can often arrange house seats for guests if they want me to do so. Now, house seats are expensive! They are seats reserved for folk connected with a show and they're usually not released to the public until 48-72 hours before a show. Other Broadway shows I've done - URINETOWN, SIDESHOW, GRAND HOTEL, et al. I'm a character in Red Dead Redemption 2. I've done film, TV. But I got my Equity card 57 years ago. So I'm not going to go into everything here. My place is especially good for anyone interested in the arts. I've made my living as an actor for the last 57 years. In fact, only 3 years ago I was nominated as Best Solo Performance by The Off-Broadway Alliance for my performance in THE GOSPEL OF JOHN (I memorized Saint John's Gospel. Type in Ken Jennings preforms (the minister misspelled the word) The Gospel of John on youtube, and it will come up, but that's the performance I did for my church. I was nominated for the performance I did at the Sheen Center, the arts center of the NY archdiocese, and they gave me set, lights, sound effects. but both performances are just me saying John's Gospel from memory).
Now Brendan's old bedroom still has many of his old toys. But some guests have loved that. I have guests who've played with his video games, his Bop It, etc. My place in on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, convenient to everything in NYC, and one of the safest areas to stay in NYC.
I've listed the room as a double, because there are 2 single beds in the room. But I often had 3 guests when I was with Airbnb (even 4 once, but the room was too crowded). I gave the guests a sleeping bag for the third guest. The price remains the same for 3 guests, $90/night. I charge by the room, not the number of guests.
