I personally think this place was great for its value, however my friends pointed out a few things that could be improved so I'll include them in the review. Overall, my friends and I (total of 6 people) enjoyed the stay and loved New York! Can't wait to visit again.
Goods:
--FREE Netflix!!! If you're having a lazy morning or want to watch a show before sleeping, then this feature is awesome! I had lots of fun watching shows with my friends.
--There were enough beds to fit 6 people. There was 2 beds that fit 2 people each, a sofa (turned bed), and then an air mattress. The air mattress was quite comfy (based on my friend's experience) and could fit in the bedroom after pushing the bed over.
--The kitchen has a lot of supplies. If you want to cook at home instead of eating out, there was a lot of appliances you can use. There was a blender, gas stove top, spices, pots and pans, spatulas, a microwave, a big fridge, and more.
--High shower head. Everyone in my party was pretty short, but I would assume tall people would love this feature. The shower head is taller than most other shower heads I have seen.
--There was AC and fans. The AC can be a bit loud, but it worked fine in keeping the place cold.
--Location was great. It was close to a lot of grocery stores and restaurants. It is also 1 block away from the subway line 6 and parts of central park.
--The host provides you with soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. If you're not particular about your shampoo, this saves some space in the luggage.
--Self check-in. Great in terms of flexibility for flights.
--There's an electronic camera for the doorbell. If you're concerned about anyone knocking on your door late at night, you can see them through the electronic doorbell system. I never got to use it, but some may find this useful.
Could improve:
--We encountered a few bugs in the room. There were 4 or 5 ants on the dining table and this one bug that was kinda scary (it's those beneficial crawlers that just looks scary but does no harm to humans). No spiders or cockroaches, just some ants (they eventually disappeared as well).
--The lock box for the keys were kinda icky. I think some water got into the lock box and some rust started to develop. Had to wash the keys after taking them out of the lock box.
--There can be a decent amount of noise at night since you live so close to the streets. If you're a light sleeper, I advise sleeping on the bed in the living room and not the bed in the bedroom. Not really a problem with the Air BnB, just an issue about New York (and big cities) in general.
--The hallway was a bit narrow. Wasn't too much of a problem, but it definitely got crowded at times when 3 or all 6 of us had to sit down to eat breakfast. Not as much as a problem for smaller parties though.
I thought it was a pretty good deal for the price (split across 6 people) and the location, especially since you can use Netflix as well. Still would recommend this place to others, but maybe for parties less than 6 people.
