My husband and I were visiting New York for a quick 3 day trip and stumbled upon this listing. Michelle was very prompt and helpful with our communications. Questions and concerns were answered right away. As she mentioned on her posting, she prefers to keep her interactions minimal which is true - we actually didn't get to meet due to our check-in and out time. But she was very clear and helpful with instructions for them. The room looks just as pictured on the listing. As mentioned, it is a 100 year old house.
There are a few areas that my husband and I found could improve. As we entered into the front door the first night, we noticed a strong and distinct odor through the stairway and hallway up to our room, almost like something is decomposing. Thankfully when we kept our room shut for the next few days, the odor dissipated within our room, but still lingered strongly in the hallway and bathroom. We are not sure if this is something that just started, but we hope it can be taken care of, as it did affect the comfort of our stay there. Another thing to think about is that sound traveled quite well between walls and we could hear the other guests quite clearly, but since we were not there most of the day and we are early risers, it wasn't too bad. As for if we would stay at the brownstone again, it really depends on if the odor is taken care of.
