Pro:
- Very clean and tidy. We felt comfortable and home right the moment we stepped inside.
- The host ist very strict with the non-smoking policy. So the home and room smells really great.
- The living room, bathroom and kitchen is very well equipped. You have everything you need right there.
- The neighborhood is really quiet and safe as in the description.
Neutral:
- Know beforehand to plan for travel time if you want to go to New York. It takes 40-65 to get to NY downtown. But of course you save a lot of money compared to NY hotels.
Con:
- We were not allowed to leave our luggage/bags in the apartment on the last day after check-out before we went to the airport in the evening. This is a standard service in all hotels and the host really should work on this!
- One day we were coming home at 1 am and our normal keycode for the main door did not work! We tried to contact the host but he didn’t answer. The Airbnb support could not help us, too. We were on the streets without a place to sleep. Luckily one kind neighbor saw us and let us sleep in his car. The next day the host came at 7 am to help and opened the door. Someone deactivated the lock from the inside and you just had to push really, really hard to open the door. If the host would have warned us about this possible circumstances before, this whole situation could have been avoided. The host should work on the lock technology and update to a better system with less potential to failure.
