The good: the unit was clean and the neighborhood is great. Entry is conveniently code/app based. The person the host had me communicate with about issues was responsive. Water pressure was great and hot water always worked.
The bad: being on the first occupied floor results in a lot of noise - you hear everyone entering and climbing stairs (which are right above the bedroom) and doing laundry and taking out trash (laundry and trash areas are literally right outside the apartment door). I’ve lived in old steam-heated Manhattan apartments before, but the clanking here was comically bad, like someone hammering on the pipes all night. There is a ~2x5ft gap in the wall between the bedroom and the kitchen, so you can hear everything that happens in the kitchen and living room. This was frustrating as I wanted a true one-bedroom to make the space more livable for two people for a month. The unit is much darker than the photos make it out to be. Other issues: no deadbolt on the door; the host insisted I communicate through email (and not the Airbnb app as Airbnb requests) and with a different person; and there was only one trash can in the entire apartment (in the bathroom) and no extra blankets as the amenities indicate, and when I asked about this I was told it was to be expected. (The next person might get to have a kitchen trash can, though, as I purchased one and left it there.)
That being said, I think if you wanted to stay here alone and aren’t bothered by noise and lack of light it would be okay.
