Literally the most unfriendly air bnb I have stayed at. Beautifully decorated the property is more like a hostel with signs and emails to direct visitors so that the hosts can have as little contact as possible with guests. It wasn't until my last night that I even met one of the hosts who didn't even attempt to engage in conversation when prompted. Thank goodness I had friends in Manhattan and Brooklyn, if you were coming to stay here to hopefully meet people (as was indicated in the description) good luck! Or if you were lost or needed assistance this place wouldn't be there to help at all. I actually had other guests asking me for directions to the subway and where to leave there bags etc. While it's set up like a hostel it's lacking the staffing of a good hostel or interaction of guests that you'd get in a hostel. It's kind of like a weird unfriendly share house, or university housing. If your after interaction and meeting folk I'd suggest booking a hostel, it wouldn't be as nicely decorated but you'd at least have staff to direct you, a washing machine and activities to get involved in. It's also soooooooooo horribly loud! My room was positioned right next to the kitchen AND main bathroom!! I didn't sleep a wink over the 5 nights I stayed. I heard every conversation, microwave beep, shower and toilet flush and there was no part in the description that said my room would be in such a central location or I'd never have booked it. On the plus side the location in Brooklyn is pretty rad and the cat 'Smoker' is super friendly and a real cuddler which is great if your an animal lover like me. I can't say I had a horrible time here but it wasn't the greatest. The shampoo and conditioner were nice but the place itself was just loud and unfriendly and not what I was expecting from the ad. Just a bit disappointed really. Air bnb is all about creating a trusted community of travellers and this particular property really lacks that community feel.
