My wife and I stayed here for a month while I had a work related commitment in the area. We certainly enjoyed the free off street parking and the close proximity to the ferry for the few times we went to Manhattan. However, the noise from upstairs where the host lives with her 2 kids was unbearable (thumping, banging, dumping things on the floor, screaming, crying). Describing the noises as extremely loud is an understatement. After a couple rounds of contacting the host and AirBnB, the noise would tremendously decrease for a couple days (kids started playing on the third floor), but would resume like before. Communication with the host was slow at first, but that changed after AirBnB contacted her with the problem in the beginning. We couldn’t take the loud noise any longer and we asked AirBnB to move us somewhere else. If it wasn’t for the lack of other listings within the same price range, dates and specifications, we would’ve been gone. I completely understand how challenging it can be to control kids and their energy all day as they need to play, but this place isn’t suitable to host guests, especially for lengthy periods of time, knowing the circumstances. We woke up with ruckus upstairs on every school day and our evenings weren’t particularly relaxed while the kids were getting ready for bed upstairs. The extremity of the noise should’ve been either advertised by the host (seen other hosts do so) or this listing should’ve been pulled off temporarily until the matter is solved (host said they’re looking into soundproofing the place). Indeed, the kids are not to be blamed, but if I had a place and knew that noise has been a problem in the past for other guests, as informed to me by the host herself, then I’d be conscious enough not to list it. If you’re a tourist for a couple days and you will be gone the majority of the day from morning until night, then this AirBnB might work for you because you’d be away from the noise. The host did attend to other minor requests like a wifi issue and replacing a rusty pan. This place would’ve been 10x better if it wasn’t for the noise because it had potential.
