The stay had pros and cons.
Pros:
The location in Little Italy is a fun location with great restaurants and bars.
The communication regarding the entire stay and some issues with the lock box (see below) was great.
The beds were extremely comfortable.
The decor is modern, the space is airy. Aesthetically it's overall nice except for the outdoors (see below).
Cons:
The entrance to the apartment doesn't have a door. So it smelled like urine (likely from homeless) who would walk in since it's somewhat private off the street. It was kind of gross walking in every time we came back to the apartment. Also, this makes it feel less secure because the actual door is the only thing between the apartment and anyone off the street.
The floor was VERY dirty. The bottom of myself socks were brown/black after only a few hours inside.
I paid the usual $95 cleaning fee and the $100 service fee. When I checked out, I received all of these instructions asking me to do the laundry and also to take the garbage out. I neatly packed up the garbage in the apartment, but did not take it out as there were some homeless people near the garbage and I was worried about safety. I've honestly never had Airbnbs ask this much of me.
Little Italy is near the airport so if you're a light sleeper this isn't the place for you. we knew that coming in so we were fine.
The rooftop is a stained rug with a ton of dog hair and some old chairs. It looked gross so we didn't use it.
There were instructions to type a code into a lockbox on the door to get the key. However, the code was not working on the door lockbox. As it turns out, there was another lock box on the stairs that contained the key. It made for a confusing check out.
Overall, the inside of the Airbnb was nice. It was just all of the additional things noted above that ended up being disappointing.
