Pros:
- In a safe central area with easy access to ferries and subways, great for tourists
- Bed felt clean and comfortable
- Has a kitchen with stove/microwave/fridge so food and drinks are easily made
- TV has Chromecast so you can watch whatever you'd like
- Coffee bags/creamer/tea are provided
- No keys needed, just use a digit-pad
Cons:
- Price was pretty expensive for what it was. I think ~$150-175 a night would have made this an amazing deal
- Bathroom had clogging issues (both sink and shower)
** this was fixed upon request, but really should be a common sense check already
- Floors and appliances could use some cleaning
- Mobile app "key" never worked
- AC is a bit loud (we were able to sleep through it without issue)
- Building has a slightly off smell to it, although the unit was fine
If you are not familiar with Sonder, it is a completely different booking service that requires a detailed signup process once you book through Airbnb. It's completely legit, but can be tedious for new users.
Overall, I enjoyed our stay but the units could do with some appliance updates and more thorough cleaning checks. Price seems really high during summertime so I would recommend booking when its cheaper.
TIP -- enter from 116 John St, it is much cleaner/more open than the 1 Platt entrance, and does not require inputting code each time.
