What I liked:
*good response/ communication with host. No more than 1 hour to respond
*hallway entering unit smelled bad but the apartment smelled marvelous. Don’t let this deter you from reserving
*pictures match what is in person
*interior decor really cute
*great space for a couple
*relatively safe neighborhood
*clear instructions for entry into apartment
*affordable stay for what you get
Improvements:
*the 2nd heater down near the lounge area took roughly 24-48hours to warm the entire area up. We came in January, heating may not be an issue for summer months.
*after the 2nd day, the warm/hot water in the shower stopped working. Had to use sink to bathe. Addressed it to the host and he explained it would warm up eventually and with the apartment being in the north, residents are used to it. Would be a 5 star hands down if it were not for the shower losing warm/hot water
*toilet takes about a minute to flush after each flush. We did not have clogging issues at all but be sure to note instructions stating to not flush wipes!
Tips:
*Public Travel- journal square train station is about 24 min walk from apartment. We used this often to get to manhattan
*not many eateries/food options in the surrounding area at night/evening hours due to covid
*no Starbucks in walking distance in the area but there is Dunkin’ Donuts
