This is a pretty good Airbnb.
Pros:
- There is a room in the basement to store a bike! No need to lock up outside to feel unsafe. This was a major major plus.
- The location in Bushwick was ideal for our needs. There is a Deli right across the street. Quiet neighborhood. Short walk from two trains (L and M).
- Julia was extremely attentive and good about communication, instantly. It was very much appreciated that we could reach out with any questions and expect a response within 20 minutes max.
- Easy check in with keypad codes for the building door as well as apt. door. Felt safe.
Cons:
- Although the bedroom has a window, it is directly underneath a very bright outdoor floodlight. Julia was thoughtful enough to put up a thick curtain, however, the curtain rod is sagging so light still seeps through, making it hard to get to sleep.
- There are no chairs to sit at at the kitchen table
- No coffee machine so we had to buy all our coffee (though, there are abundant bodegas all around)
Other:
- The decor is very cold, clinical, without character. It looks and feels like your average, sterile Airbnb, and is totally out of place with the rest of the neighborhood.
