A friend and I decided to do a staycation in NY for a week - both were WFH and this was the best place to do it. I don’t even cook but with this AirBnB we WANTED to cook.
What we loved:
- Both of us were working and having an upstairs and downstairs helped with the noise of each other’s conference calls. The downstairs had a desk available and was very nice and quiet. There was also nice light that came through the windows unlike some of the pics - it did light up the place. The upstairs had a dining table where my friend was able to put her set up.
- Lots of cooking appliances and dishes to use which made everything easy
- Extra blankets and towels were prepped for us which was so great to have
- There was extra fans and extra space heaters to use when you felt hot or cold which was amazing
- Space and layout was amazing, we enjoyed cooking and watching TV all night long
- Had all the TV subscriptions loaded in which was an awesome treat!
- Huge fridge and freezer
- Neighbors from upstairs were super helpful when we bumped into them
A few things that would have been nice to know in advance, not things that impacted our stay negatively but nice to know:
- No microwave so be sure to make food vs. buy microwaveable goodies
- Downstairs toilet was out of service
- With a car ensure you are aware of street parking rules
- Download Citizens app to ensure you are up to date with what’s happening in the area around you - good to know in case you hear drilling and don’t know what it’s about
