We were a group of 3 couples and having a common space was important for us to hang out so this was perfect for that! The living room is beautiful. This is a great value if you need that common space compared to a hotel.
It was mid April and each bedroom was stifling at night without sleeping with the windows open (a lot of street noise as expected in NY.) We didn’t find any portable fans in the house.
It’s a older house and has not been renovated. There is a master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom on the second floor. Second floor also has a small bedroom with a daybed.
The third floor has 2 bedrooms with a shared full bathroom in the hall. Walking up 3 flights of stairs to the bedroom got old really fast but good exercise? (Also heat rises).
The outside area was not clean and a pile of chairs and tables on one side and usually occupied with a few stray cats.
The subway stop (A, C) is about a 7 min walk away. Grocery store is nearby. Neighborhood is urban and does not feel more unsafe than the rest of NY.
It’s also strange to me that the host does not provide shampoo or conditioner for the money we paid.
Overall would stay here again with friends for the common space. But would have preferred a hotel.
