The good:
This place is beautifully furnished. The lighting is excellent and the furniture choice is very hip. It feels like you're at your own little lounge/cafe. Its location is great as it's blocks away from NQRW, ACE, and 1 lines. It's a 15-minute walk from Chinatown and a 15-minute walk from Brookfield/Oculus. You're also close to all the hot Jazz spots like The Django and B Flat. Try the brunch menu and the Two Hands restaurant right around the corner or go to Vivi Bubble Tea if you're feeling some tapioca bubbles. Locanda Verde is also just a few blocks away and Aire bathhouse is just one block north. The host Tom was very friendly and I got to know him personally. The unit has two Sonos speakers you can use to play music, etc. It was awesome. The smart TV also has Netflix and other services. It's pretty quiet at night.
The meh:
It's a top-floor on a 5-story walk-up. I didn't mind the daily exercise but it takes some getting used to. The water pressure in the shower was so low but I fixed it with a new showerhead designed to increase it and now it's fine. You're welcome. Some of the linens were dirty. The floor is pretty darn creaky. The hot water takes 10-15 minutes to come on. I was OK with it because I have flexible work hours but if you're in a hurry in the morning, it might be a problem.
The bad:
There are some old nail heads sticking out from the floor. Maybe one could hammer them in? Not sure, but be careful not to drag your feet or you're in for some intense pain if you run into the nail heads.
During my stay, there were at least 3 heavy rains. All three resulted in roof water leaks above the kitchen floor in front of the fridge. I used the kitchen only a few times so it didn't affect me directly but it sucked having to deal with the leaks (placing pots below the leaks, being woken up by the noise of water splashing, etc.).
Conclusion:
If you can oversee some problems that are common to old buildings, this place has everything else going for you. Think of it less as a professional AirBnB with everything perfect but more like staying at a friend's house that's old and has its problems but with great decor at an awesome location, and you've got yourself one impressive nest. For me, the leaks really bothered me but maybe it bothers you less. All in all, I enjoyed my stay, and Tom is a really great guy who means well.
