This unit was the entire floor, two levels up. A sufficiently large bedroom, comfortable bed, good lighting (I’m a big reader). The bathroom was good sized, with a shower, no tub. The other room had a mini-refrigerator, a small microwave, 2 comfortable chairs, coffee table, credenza with plates, glasses, silverware, etc. The fridge had a tiny ice cube tray that I barely used. Also a filtered water pitcher, 2 qts I think.
Easy access, push button with a 4 digit code. Nearby Grand St, is loaded with places to eat. a mostly kids park but with basketball hoops, a handball court and someone was always playing tennis with themselves. A couple of blocks to the East River, Domino Park, shuttle boats to Manhattan and a good place to walk. Exactly 10 minutes to the Bedford Ave L train which I used daily. Maybe 15 min to the JMZ which I rarely use, and didn’t my entire 19 days. The L gets meto wherever I’m going, with easy Uptown & Downtown Manhattan transfers at 14th St/Union Sq, 6th Ave & 8th Ave.
Doug was not quite invisible, but very friendly when I saw him, every other day or so. We communicated via Airbnb messages, but that was close to never. I’m a big guy and the first day he asked me to please walk more quietly, which I tried hard to do. I left my shoes just inside the door from the street. That’s a common thing in NYC with mostly wooden floors everywhere. I really enjoyed having the entire floor to myself. I didn’t ask, but got the impression that Doug only has this unit available for Airbnb. I’m pretty sure Doug never ventured to my floor. No reason really. I told him in advance I’m a clean freak. Lol
Maybe 5 minutes to walk to Food Town, a decent grocery I have used for years. A couple more minutes to Whole Foods.
I will stay here again if it is available.
