Pros: Host seems super nice, and very accommodating. The place is nicely located, and as someone who just needed somewhere to crash while dealing with foreign consulates in NYC, it was exactly what I needed.
Cons: Grimy building, lots of broken decor and a very noisy (though comfortably warm) radiator. I'm a bit spoiled from using AirBnB in smaller/cheaper cities and abroad, so I may have had inflated expectations; it's probably par for the course for the area.
