Our stay at this unit was less than expected compared to all the rave reviews we had read. The unit has a kind of modern look, but looks like it hasn’t been maintained much (bathroom) and not as “clean” as past reviewers had mentioned.
Location:
The location was fairly convenient to the subway a few blocks away (off Franklin and Nostrand), but the unit is on the 4th floor (no elevator access) and could be a bit much if you have a lot of luggage to lug up the stairs and after a long day hanging out in the city.
Bedroom:
The room we stayed at was very small (1 of 2 that is “rented out”). Next door to the other room with paper thin walls, sounds like the other person is in your room.
Bathroom:
There is only 1 bathroom to share with the other “tenants”, you do not have access to the 2nd bathroom that is marketed online as it is only for the actual host on their own floor. There are cracks and smell in the bathroom from the lack of ventilation.
The bathroom is not only small but has no storage/place to put towels or even toilet paper rolls. The fan switch doesn’t really work that well. The shower has a half glass door that is very fragile if you touch/lean on it and allows the shower water from escaping and making a mess on the floor.
The “blue” bathroom mat looked like it hasn’t been washed in a very long time, just collecting water from the shower since there is only a half door for the shower.
Kitchen:
Kitchen is ok and not very clean, there is always dishes in the sink and stuff on the stove. Not the most inviting kitchen to cook or prepare food.
