PROS:
- Apt is 3 blocks away from the J train to Manhattan, and halfway between JFK and the city (it takes about 30 mins to each end)
- It is a quiet neighborhood
- There's free WiFi. Although, bandwidth is not mindblowing, it's ok to check on emails and stuff
- Although being in the basement, the apt gets good sunshine through the garden's door. Oh, and the garden is a nice add on
CONS:
- NEIGHBORS!! Apparently other Airbnb guests were staying in the apt above us. They'd start walking around the house with high heels and boots and non-stop flushing the toilet at 1 AM and would not stop until 6. The walls seemed paper thin because we could hear everything. The last day, the couple seem to had been gone and we could finally get some sleep. Julian & Karen tried contacting the guests upon our complaint
- The place would be small for 4 adults. I would recommend it for 3 people or 2 adults + 2 kids
- The neighborhood seemed unsafe. Nothing happened to us, so this could be just a misperception
Overall, I recommend this place to travellers staying in NYC for up to a couple of weeks. It's good value for the money taking into account NYC prices.
