Our hosts where really comunicative and nice. The process to do the check in was clear and easy and they allow us a late checkout without any problem.
The apartment is located at a six minute walk from a subway station and two minute walk to thebbus stop, so it's really easy to get around. The neighborhood can look a little bit scary late at night, but we don't have any problem. For us it was a real NYC experience of the hood. The restaurant downstairs, Maxwell was really good, as a It is a Mexican restaurant "El encanto de Lola".
It is a cost-efficient AIRBNB apartment, is big to NY standard (two bedrooms and two baths). The common space can be a little hot on August cause it doesn't have an A/C unit on the common areas.The building is under big renovations but it doesn't affect the apartment, we haven't noticed any noise and the only signs of construction were the "naked" lobby and a plastic sheet over the new corridor rugs. The beds are comfy, and the bathrooms are clean, with the fastest hot water service we have ever seen. The living room and the dining room have seen better times, but serves their function without any problem. Our only concern was with the cigarette odor on the main bedroom. We know that maintaining control over that can be difficult, but it will be great if something is done with it.
I recommend this property as a real
NYC experience on a fair price.
