Overall, we had a great stay at Simone's. She was wonderfully hospitable, welcoming us to help ourselves to anything in the kitchen for breakfast. She was very clear instructions (for locking up, etc.) and quick to respond to questions.
The place is a little far from public transit if you're hoping to get somewhere in the city fast in the mornings. It's only about a 15-20 minute walk through a nice neighborhood to the subway, but it's a little out of the way.
Simone keeps the place very clean. However, I think it's good to be aware when booking that this is a very, very old building which has not been redone. It has some quirks (like most old houses do), including some broken tiles in she shower, the lock on the bedroom door doesn't work etc. If you're looking to spend a lot of time actually hanging out in the apartment, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place. Simone shares the home with her adult son and has another Airbnb room as well, so it's a little crowded. Also, someone in the building smokes cigarettes, so if you're not a smoker, just know that you can definitely smell the smoke.
However: if you don't mind an older building, don't mind walking some to get to the subway, and are mainly looking for a comfortable, peaceful night sleep in NYC on a budget, I highly recommend staying here with Simone! She is a very nice person and very thoughtful host!
