For disclosure, loved location, the owner Fernando was very quick to respond. The problem was he had to respond a lot. We did not enjoy our stay. Unfortunately this place isn’t exactly as it appears in the beauty shots online. Tiny bathroom. Old run down building.
We stayed in the dead of winter (we knew that)…the problem was the apartment was not NYC weatherized. The window AC unit allowed cold wind to blow into the room, we had no extra blankets or heaters..nor did we have thermostat control. We called and Fernando turned our heat up.
That wasn’t the only problem. There were very LOUD Airbnb guests in the apartment above us…they partied 3 of the 4 nights of our stay. Ok! Loud horrible guests come and go. Fine…we were the unlucky ones…that wasn’t the worst of the noise issues.
The everyday problem is that there is a pet store with puppies below this Airbnb. Awww cute right!? Yes…in the windows, in the mornings, it’s a great way to start you day. (Looking a cute puppies) But at night…you can hear the puppies crying/whimpering… it’s kind of a sad way to fall asleep…ok! Puppies grow up and find new homes…the other HORRIBLE noise problem was the 6:30am cleaning crews that cleaned the pet store. They BLAST their music!!!
So, bottom line. Great location!! Cold / thin walled noisy building. I’d never stay there again.
Sorry Fernando. I wish it wasn’t so.
Best.
P.S. fix the table!
