I just wrapped up a month-long stay at Mario’s apartment and am thoroughly satisfied. I was commuting to lower Manhattan. The trek was reasonable on the subway from Delancey / Essex, and even better on a citibike. The primary disadvantage of this apartment, for me, were that the walk to the subway was about 10 minutes. Other lines are closer.
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantage. For the price, the unit was very roomy. Either the huge bathtub or the in-unit laundry would be a selling point. Both? Awesome!!!! Mario was super responsive, including on the day of my arrival when I had trouble getting into the lockbox (my error). I sent a message in the Airbnb app, and he came out to help me immediately. While some features of the apartment show wear (countertops, for example), more features were brand-spanking-new (multiple sets of towels and sheets). Hugely, I spent a month in this apartment and was never disturbed by noise. Occasionally, I heard the soothing sounds of the washing machine upstairs, but not upstairs neighbor tromping around noise or street noise. I slept more soundly (don’t tell my partner!) on the cushy full-size Casper bed than I do at home.
