Pros:
- the place is clean
- reasonably close to the subway
- cheap for NY
Cons:
- it's definitely not a room in a single family home.There are multiple rooms being rented out so a single listing on hosts page is a bit decieving, considering the lock situation that means you not only have to put your trust in the host but also in other guests.
- you get an entrance code as an airbnb message 5 minutes before check-in time. Not a deal breaker, but definitely something to consider for international travelers with limited internet access.
- the whole house is filled with warnings, signs and messages about rules and bans. While the rules themselves are not unreasonable, I can't imagine what kind of horrors the host suffered from previous guests that prompted them to decorate this way. Together with a huge Live, Laugh, Love mural in the bedroom the whole place gives a strong Karen vibe.
