Seven of us friends stayed at Sam's place for 5 nights in October 2021. The airBnB is the bottom unit of a duplex, with the owners living in the top unit. The bottom unit spans two floors: the bottom floor contains the shared living spaces, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom, and the top floor contains the other 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and the washer and dryer (which my friend said is rare for New York). No ensuite bathrooms, which worked out well for our group of friends. One of the other reviews mentioned the place having a slight smell that you eventually get used to, which I can confirm (and I wonder what it's from).
The place accommodated our large group easily, with the convenience of a smart lock for people coming and going, good WiFi that accommodated working from home, and two desks, one in an upstairs bedroom and one in the downstairs shared space. The location is a few blocks from a handful of smaller grocery stores, and is a 15-minute walk to major subway routes. The hosts stock the kitchen with a good variety of cooking utensils and cookware, some pantry basics like salt and spices, a kettle that doesn't whistle when it boils ha, and a coffee maker. Recycling can be collected in a clear bag provided under the sink, then left out in the front for the host to manage.
For toiletries, the hosts provide mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in each of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Each of the bedrooms contains a window AC unit, which is a luxury in the city, but I ended up removing our unit from our window to increase sound insulation. It's worth noting that noise inevitably transfers between floors, and light sleepers may want to go for the bottom floor bedroom (the best sound-insulated of all the rooms, as it is below another bedroom, and is well-positioned in the back of the house away from street noise). The hosts have a young child but were graciously able to accommodate our request to minimize noise as best they could. The host Sam was very prompt and responsive. Overall, a great stay!
