Joseph was very responsive, and the walkability of the area was great. We recommend the Village creperie for breakfast. I was disappointed in the neighborhood graffiti that was everywhere, including the new outdoor restaurant dining areas, but I felt comfortable to walk around even at night.
I was disappointed in the toiletries - I would bring your own unless you want to share the community bottles in the shower. The bed was a full size. You can hear the street noise and the neighbors coming in and out of the building all night. Some of the kitchen utensils were not clean so we ended up not using any of it. None of the towels matched and the bath mat outside the shower had a hotel name in it so it was a bit weird. Not the kind of Airbnb I am used to, but this was my first in NYC. I think I am more suited for a hotel.
