Not as advertised in my opinion. We had to leave after the first night, mostly because of the noise. I could go on and on about a slew of vitriolic texts from Neil and Katie, including "You have an ugly personality," an "ugly nature," and "Grow up and get lost. Thanks for your $$!" Bottom line: this place is BEYOND LOUD at night. I’m not talking cool, ambient city noise. We live in a huge city with nightly helicopters, etc. We also love the West Village, having stayed there countless times, including on Horatio, 8th, and 10th. So *believe me* when I tell you this level of noise is un-freaking-bearable. There's a club nearby that plays loud live music from 10:00pm until 3:00am Every. Single. Night. For many people this isn't a problem. If you’re in NYC to party until after 3:00am, if you sleep like the dead, or if you’re hearing impaired, you won’t be bothered. But this place is listed as family/kid friendly and it isn't. It also says it has working smoke detectors and it doesn’t. I only noticed this because the bedroom A/C was plugged in half way and kept shorting out every time I touched it. Now about the words “LUXURY” and “LOVELY.” Um, no. It’s 1/3 Nice, 1/3 Meh and 1/3 Holy-crap-that’s-gross. The living room is nice. Very large by NY standards, with high ceilings and tasteful (if maritime steampunk) decor. Totally different furniture than the pictures, but we didn't care. The bedrooms are small, but the bed we lay awake in all night saying FML was comfortable (although when we pulled the sheets there was a mysterious stain on the mattress). But what’s really gross is the bathroom. The shower is yucky, and the floor is sticky with that unmistakable old-urine-seeped-into-the-floor-forever smell. There were a bunch of cockroaches at night. I caught a picture of one cute little “evening-time” roach, but was too freaked to take a picture of the 5-6 roaches that scattered during the night. None of the doorknobs work, but for some reason the bathroom door is scotch-taped open. There is an enormous pile of garbage —er, sorry, “Recycling” outside the front door. Honestly, the garbage and the roaches can be very common for NYC, especially on the 1st floor, but you shouldn’t throw around the words LUXURY and LOVELY. We asked for a refund for the second night and Neil said "Nope!" Later, he offered us a one night refund "take it or leave it" but only after the 15 day AirBnB review period had expired. Neil will say I started with the "name calling." It's totally true. I called him a liar, the only "name" I ever used. Not my finest moment, but he was gaslighting us, saying we were outliers b/c we had a problem with the noise (“Nobody else had a problem” then “You should have read the reviews BEFORE” then back to “100s of people have stayed. Only you have a problem.") Which is it?
