I’ll start with the positive: the amount of space in Rachel’s place is great. I like the funky decor too. It’s the ideal size for a solo traveler in town for several days. 2 couches plus a dining table and lounge chair really allows you to sprawl out which is rare in New York. Rachel supplies you with everything you’d need: plenty of towels, wash clothes, extra blankets, air conditioning, a nicely set up kitchenette for coffee and snacks. The shower and shower products are really nice quality though it can get very steamy in there because the shower doors really seal you in so makes it a bit difficult to breathe. Now for the down side: this airbnb is incredibly noisy. I didn’t have a single good night of sleep while I was there. Rachel does supply ear plugs however they only do so much to block out the constant noise. This airbnb is right by the freeway and it sounds like there are motorcycles revving their engines, jackhammers, and blaring garbage trucks in the room with you at practically all times. On top of that the windows are clearly not double paned because you can hear people’s conversations from the passing foot traffic very clearly. I overheard at least one screaming fight on the street every night. I think this airbnb would also be improved greatly by installing black out shades. The existing curtains are very sheer and allow tons of light to come in. You start to feel like you’re going crazy from sleep deprivation. Really no peace. The space was generally very clean in appearance however I noticed the smell of stale urine in the bathroom and in front of the full length mirror. I’m pretty young so I tried to make the best of the situation but generally I can’t say I’d recommend this airbnb.
