The host lives above the place I booked and did not give a notification before the kitchen renovation. So noisy and my husband and I could not stay at home during day even though we felt sick. No rest during the day. Also the host want to cross your room almost everyday because the radiator check up. ( during the renovation)
We argue about the permission before the cross the home, but the host thinks he/she can cross anytime they want. ( btw airbnb does not allow this unless it’s emergency) We left early. Could not stay..
So BEWARE and think about it before you make a booking.
Host responds quickly and neighborhood is safe and quite. Takes 50-60min to reach the battery park by bus/ ferry. For a midtown, + 20min for the subway. No near coffee shop other than a dunkin donuts. It is street parking no parking on premise. No microwaves. Could see large house centipede 4-5 times during our stay. Unable to find a smoke detector.
