Definitely a great place to spend a week in New York. Anywhere from 3-6 people is a wonderful fit, and the host would’ve allowed us to bring an air mattress when we said we had more in our party (they ended up not going, but it’s the thought that counts).
Be warned. To get to the subway, it is an uphill walk. It’s not terrible, but it’s not fun either. Also, the ceilings in the downstairs room range from 4’ to 7’. At the entrance to the room, there’s a section that’s about 5’8” so if you’re taller than that, be prepared to duck. And the closet area has a lower ceiling as well, so if you aren’t careful, you’ll bonk your head trying to get your clothes. But the main area with the bed and bathroom has the 7’ ceilings and gave us no trouble at all.
Also, while the master bedroom is the best for space and aesthetic, it doesn’t have AC. So if you prefer to sleep in the cold, then give up the master (which is downstairs).
Another thing was the bugs. Nothing disgusting, we just had like a lot of spiders and a few centipedes. This could be attributed to the fact that the Airbnb hadn’t had people staying in it for awhile, but there were well over 10 spiders.
And the last thing to note was the lock on the second gate is messed up. You have to turn the key and the knob a specific way at the same time just to have a chance of opening it. Hoped that gets fixed before the next guests.
That may seem like a lot of cons, but that’s not bad when you consider how affordable and high quality this place is. Everything was very clean, and we had all the appliances we could ask for. It’s an Airbnb that’s definitely worth consideration, with a wonderful host.
