- There are four(?) bedrooms in this unit and they seem to be occupied by other airbnb/temporary residents. No one seemed to be really invested in taking care of the common spaces like kitchen, bathroom, and living room. When I first moved in, the bathroom had some mold and the ventilation (fan) was broken; the kitchen was dirty too. Lionel was helping in trying to clean some things.
- Not uncommon for New York, there is no air conditioning. I had to buy a small fan to get through some nights. Plus, the streets can be a little noisy too. The place is a couple of block away from a police station and there is a quite a bit of ambulances/sirened-vehicles at all times.
- I stayed here from June to August for an internship. I had expected to be able to work from home for half the week. But, I ended up going to office all days of the week. The desk/chair that comes with the room is not ideal for working for more than a couple of hours. The living room condition is not great for working.
- Lionel himself is very friendly and receptive. So is Stephanie.
- Before I left, Lionel had mentioned that he was considering getting a cleaning service to maintain the place. Hopefully that makes things better.
