I highly recommend this airbnb because it was a good home away from home. I mainly chose it for it’s location near the WTC and found it’s location was even better than expected because it’s also just a few blocks from a supermarket and even better is the wonderful tiny cafe/pastry store right around the corner. Jose was a very nice host. He welcomed us and explained everything about the penthouse very thoroughly. The place is comfortable, clean and neat. There are the usual city noises in the street below and around the neighborhood. The street is not a main thoroughfare so noises are only during the daytime - no sleeping in if you’re sensitive to city noises so bring ear plugs for that. The black out curtains were a plus to block out all the neighborhood lights at night if you need a dark room to fall asleep. If you come back very late at night/early am hours like we did after a wedding, even though it’s all dark in the lobby you are not locked out. Just knock, the building door guy is still there to let you in. He may be napping in the dark (nightshifts aren’t the easiest shifts so we were sorry to have to wake him).
