The four of us were taking an extended weekend from San Francisco to enjoy NYC in the fall. Sadly, our stay in this apartment was a lowest of the low point of our trip. In October the east coast gets significantly cooler, temps dropping at night to 30-40s F. This apartment had 3 plus AC units in the windows making the entire place an icebox! There was no way to turn up the heat nor any instructions available!
Not to mention the noise in the bedroom facing the street was absolutely AWFUL(we had to try to find earplugs)!!! It felt like we were just sleeping on the street.
The pillows are paper thin- and after walking all day you just want a good night's sleep- this is not the place for that (at least in the larger bedroom).
Also, the second bedroom had a massive hole punched into the wall- and when I asked the host about this, they were like oh yeah we just found out. Must have been from the previous airbnb folks- but it was definitely not fun for us to look all.
The bathroom is very awkward not enough places for 4 people to hang towels for drying, but thankfully the heat and water pressure are nice.
We are all four in our early 30s, and honestly, the only redeeming quality about this place is the location- it's in the perfect spot in Brooklyn great access to public transportation (however, the L train does not operate on weekends due to construction, which is a major concern for future people wanting to stay here, this will last for at least 1-2 years).
For those not looking for a warm and good night's rest, the location of this place will win you over.
The hosts seem nice and communicated in a timely manner.
