I liked Janelle’s place over all and thought it was a good value, especially since I seemed to snag a lower than normal rental rate. Here is a breakdown of the home:
The good:
-Location! You can’t beat it. 1 minute walk to subway and 24 hour store.
-Quiet...for New York. While it’s on the second floor and there is undoubtedly street noise I found it to be quiet until about 5am and even then I managed to keep sleeping through it until 8am.
-Spacious- plenty of room for my 4 year old to play.
-Comfortable beds and pillows.
-Elevator!
-Olive Oasis Deli, get a late night meal/snack from the food counter at the back. You won’t regret it.
The bad:
-No wash cloths. We had to get creative.
-Could use a deep clean. It is by no means gross, older spaces just need a little more attention to stay clean.
-No laundry detergent. Every air bnb that offers laundry should provide a reasonable amount of detergent. It just isn’t practical to buy it for a 5 day stay.
