The place was renovated, well decorated, and comfortable. I do wish it was closer to the subway (a little over a ten-minute walk) but it wasn't too bad. The only real issue we had was being unaware that this listing is for two separate Airbnb spaces on either side of a hallway and entrance also used by upstairs residents. Because the listing said entire first floor and entire place to yourself, we were not expecting anyone to come onto the first floor and were very surprised when that happened. To be clear, the master bedroom is a small studio with a keypad and down the hallway there were sliding doors with a keypad for the rest of the listing. We thought based on the description that these were attached, and we would not be sharing a hallway/entrance with someone. That being said, the upstairs residents were very kind and helpful. If we had been aware of this set-up, it would have been just fine, but being surprised by it while asleep wasn't a great experience.
That confusion aside, the place was wonderful. The art was fantastic, the beds were extremely comfortable, there were heaters in the bathrooms, and all of the linens were very nice (though I wish they included some black washcloths for makeup). It seems like it is designed and decorated by a professional, and many of our needs were considered in advance. Everyone I spoke to regarding the check in and checking out were prompt and friendly. They even let us check in a few hours early because we had an early flight.
