This Airbnb is in a great location -
close to lots of bars and restaurants, 10 min walk to Broadway theaters, 15 min walk to Central Park, 4 blocks in either direction to subway station. And since the unit is in a building behind the one that faces the street, it was quiet (no street noise, and minimal noise from others in the building). Lots of natural light, it’s nice to have the kitchenette, and the bed was fairly comfortable. And Val was very communicative before and during our stay.
However, this is a very small space - it’s described as such, but I guess we unrealistically thought or hoped it would be bigger and thus a better option for us (my husband, small dog and me) than a hotel room. In retrospect, I think the hotel would’ve given us more space, privacy and comfort, and probably would’ve been cheaper (after factoring in Airbnb fees and cleaning costs).
Also, I should point out that we were hit with an overpowering smell of cleaning products when we entered - had to open the windows to air it out. We also found the laundry detergent scent to be unpleasant.
It was a nice stay in a good location, but not what we were exactly hoping for. May be perfect for others.
