We stayed at Daniels place for 3 nights. Overall we were happy with the experience. There are a few things that can be improved on and some things that were apart of the area that we didn't expect. Firstly, the host is very responsive and accommodating. I received a response from him in a timely and polite manner. This is not a full time airbnb as it truly is their apartment, so they have a real connection with the space. Being that its someones actual apartment, you will have their personal belongings their which was a surprise for us, but not a big deal. The unit is very spacious for NY and we found it very charming. The wall are solid stone, so other then the occasional noise from the hallway door, it was very quiet for an NY apt. WiFi connection was excellent and everything was as described. The train ride to the bottom of Manhattan (ferry/wall street) was about 45min and about 35min to time square (this was however very simple as its just one train, enjoyable and part of the NY experience). Although street parking is "available" you will likely not find a spot as the residents definitely have their own system and take everything up. From the 4 days we were their, only the last night we found street parking (make sure to read the signs as some days you have to move your car by 9:30am). Their is however a parking garage down the street that charges $25 for 24hrs (cheap for NY - no in and outs, but you can technically take it out once every 24 hrs). The bathtub was our biggest issue. Their was hair on the drain when we got their. I had to clean it which I didn't like. Even after removing the hair, the water did not drain properly. It would fill up about 1/4 of the way up the tub during your shower so that was definitely a negative. The AC in the bedroom is pretty loud and does not have a thermostat so it run all night long. This made it very difficult to sleep as it was loud and either to cold or to warm. I would suggest to the host to swap it with the living room one as that one is much quieter for a bedroom and turns off when a set temp is reached. The bed was extremely conformable (one of the best parts of the unit). However the slats kept falling off (I believe its missing parts) causing the mattress to fall through. Being familiar with IKEA furniture I was able to create a temp fix. The door handle to the apartment kept coming off when pulling the door closed, but I just put it back on each time (should be fixed). The Neighbourhood is definitely very "active". This is a very Dominican/Latin area. This was our biggest surprise (the busyness). I though being further up on the Island we were going...
