Pros:
-Fun location that’s close to a bunch of places to eat and drink and public transit.
-Well stocked kitchen with everything you’d need to cook and eat at the airbnb.
-Really responsive host, texting to check in on how we were during our stay.
Cons:
-Not great sound insulation and is located by a hospital. We could hear the bar next door and can hear the street noise (sirens, honking) late into the night. Not a huge deal for us since we’re used to city noise living in NYC, but if you’re not used to this you should definitely pack earplugs or choose a different Airbnb.
- The layout of the airbnb’s common space is a bit odd because all of the common spaces (living room couch, bar and kitchen table) only comfortably seat 2 to 3. One or two floor poufs for the living room would make a world of difference to making it comfortable for 4 people to hang out together.
- There’s no TV in the living room, but there is one in one of the bedrooms upstairs so we couldn’t really have a movie and chill night in like planned.
Tl;dr: If you’re looking for something serene and quiet, this is not the place for you. Fun, lively neighborhood in a well that is good for a weekend stay.
