This place is truly great! This is one of my favorite neighborhoods to stay in when visiting NYC and I have never found an Airbnb that was this large around here for this cost. The space is more than ideal for two to work from the apartment and to use as a home base for many food adventures :]
The kitchen is the perfect size (and well equipped) to make small meals like breakfast and reheat leftovers or delivery.
The apartment is located in the back of the building but is not without noise from the street / city occasionally. It really was not bad in the bedroom and even as a light sleeper, I wasn't bothered at all with earplugs in.
The washer & dryer were amazing after having traveled for a week already and made packing for our trip much easier.
Leslie was easy to get ahold of and was even nice enough to let us check in a bit early since the place was ready for us.
The only thing that I didn't love was the occasional smell of cigarette smoke wafting in. I am very sensitive to it but at times it smelled like someone in the building was smoking and it was coming in the front closet / door. My jacket reeked after 5 days in the closet and I had to wash it as soon as I got home.
Everything else about our stay was fantastic - I hope we get to stay on our next NYC adventure!
