Patrick is a thoughtful and communicative host. The neighborhood has good restaurants and subway access. But my experience of the apartment/building didn't match other reviews.
Although the space is tidy and organized, I saw a couple cockroaches after one day. Patrick responded promptly and supportively, and offered to try to help mitigate the issue — but it wasn’t what I expected given the high cleanliness rating.
It was also noisy, as neighbors shouted in the hallway. I didn’t feel comfortable in the building itself as a female traveler. And there’s no iron in case you need one (despite amenity listing).
I lived in NYC for many years and have done many long-term airbnbs, and this was a rare time when I left a stay early.
Patrick is responsive, helpful and puts care into hosting. But unfortunately, the actual apartment experience didn’t match my expectations.
