Based on other reviews, it would seem that the hosts are a big part of the wonderful experiences in the house. The hosts were out of town during my stay, but still very easy to communicate with. I got in a little early and they kindly let me drop my bags / get into the space a little early. I walked to the house from Penn Station and check-in was very easy.
The house has the advertised rough around the edges "personality." This is a budget stay as the house & decor were definitely tired. The pictures for the listing could use some updating as the space felt a little shabbier than the pictures depict.
The bedroom was basic but comfortable and spacious. Furniture is worn and frayed. The bathroom was not entirely private - it is in the hallway on the floor with the private bedroom and communal kitchen. Other housemates used the bathroom facilities while I was there. Not a huge problem, just not what I was expecting.
The kitchen was not really available. I was able to use the electric kettle for tea and store some food in the fridge, but cooking in the space wasn't an option during my stay. Unfortunately, the main reason I opt for an Airbnb is to have the option to cook for myself in the evenings.
