Autumn was very quick to respond Even as I booked hours before arriving and everything went very smoothly with my 4 day stay but you have to know what you are getting here before you decide to book.
You are getting a great deal for NYC (!) but it comes with some caveats. Luckily they didn’t bother me at all but just to know before booking. The neighborhood is cool and good amenities but a bit far from the subway lines so Lyft is a good idea especially late at night. Also, the ceiling is paper thin so you hear loud footsteps all the time. There is an air purifier outside the room which was good at making white noise but if you are a light sleeper, this wouldn’t work for you. I had no problem luckily.
Also, as far as I can tell, there were a few rooms Airbnb’d as inside the apartment as well as Autumn and her boyfriend living downstairs but the bedroom doors didn’t lock from the outside. I didn’t feel unsafe and had no issues but just something to know ahead of time.
Also, Autumn and her boyfriend cook a lot and the kitchen is right next to this room so there is a lot of cooking smells in the apartment. All it did was make me hungry but if you don’t like the smell of Indian food, then again this might not be for you.
I would definitely stay again since it is a great deal and I wasn’t in the room very often.
