Finding the Airbnb was a struggle. There are many lockboxes around the immediate couple of properties, and the house number chalked onto the wall was easily missed. The doors' locks are a little bit tricky but it would have been easier with a more descriptive check-in process. I'm not sure if the Airbnb app allows for pictures, but that would have been a huge help.
I gather that noise is just part of the beautiful chaos that is NYC, but I was unfortunate enough to stay during a week of heavy construction next door. I will willingly admit that this is out of the host's hands. However, I was coming from the west coast and spending my time up-late and sleeping in, yet they were hammering/jack-hammering so hard that bits & pieces of the brick wall were falling off onto the stove and floor. On the plus side, it made me get off my tuchus and back into the world because I just couldn't stand the noise any longer.
