Luke’s place is a serviceable apartment. As for positives, I think the location is great. It’s in the center of Noho, and there’s a great variety of food options available in all directions for you to explore. Two notable ones are a breakfast place and pizza spot both minutes away from the Airbnb. It was also great having a parking spot right outside, made things super convenient. I think he’s done a great job designing the place, it’s a very simple yet modern design that I really admired.
I stayed here for about three months and so I strongly feel as though I know the problems of the place very well. Be aware this spot is adjacent to another unit next door, and you will be sharing a patio. This was not an issue until later on in my stay, as the neighbors tended to be a bit loud. While I do like the layout of the space, it is a bit small and so I’d say it works best only for one to two people max. If your planning on doing work from here, it might be a bit difficult. There’s no desk or table inside and the only one is on the patio. There’s also no washer/dryer & dishwasher.
I did encounter a bunch of malfunctions/other problems during my stay, but it’s tough to complain about them because Luke was always on top of it. He genuinely is a great guy and he always made sure I was doing okay. I very much appreciated that and his behavior made this stay much more bearable. He’s a good host and goes above & beyond to ensure his guests are having a good time.
Overall, regardless of my problems with the Airbnb, I’d still recommend this place. If your okay with the issues I pointed out, you should be fine. I lived here for a while and it served me well.
