The two stars were because the house was cute and roomy, but we do have some observations about Rebeccah & Daniel's space. First about the distance from Manhattan and the subways. The apartment is 15 minutes walk from the nearest station, which only passes the blue line (A & C). This may seem close, but on days of cold, rain or snow, this distance is far away! And as only the blue subway line passes, it takes longer to get to some sights in Manhattan. To go to Times Square, for example, is almost 1 hour by subway. To go to Williamsburg (which is in Brooklyn), it also takes and needs to take bus + subway, giving about 50 minutes.
Another negative was the heating, which had no control inside the apartment. We had to send a message and ask the hosts to turn on the heating, and they chose the temperature. That is, the first day was very hot, then it was cold ... It is bad not to have control of it, and to be depending on the hosts.
Bath and face towels were smelly, as if they had not dried properly. We had to rinse again to use it.
And the outside area (backyard) is split, most of it gets a "private" board, so you can only access a small area under the stairs. We did not feel comfortable to use this area because we like our privacy (like having breakfast in pajamas, for example).
In the end, we think it's not worth staying in Rebeccah & Daniel's space when it comes to price and location, because for those who want to take a long walk and sightseeing, it's a long way from being so far from Manhattan. Because of the price, it's not worth it, as we stayed in another AirBnb in Manhattan on another date for pretty much the same value, and it was very close to the sights (Upper East Side). That is, if you rent in advance, you get an apartment for the same price in Manhattan or Williamsburg! We left at the last minute and ended up staying right there ...
