Overall I give this AirBnB a 4/5 for reasons that are outside of the host’s control.
To start with the positives. Check-in was extremely easy ad convenient. Emma’s instructions made it clear on where to go and how to get into the building. We arrived before check in and was able to leave our luggage at a nearby store via the radical storage app (think ok AirBnB for luggage). The neighborhood was great. Lots of good local shops, restaurants, and cafe’s which we prefer. It also wasn’t far from SoHo or the Subway. Very easy to get around. This area has a bit of a hipster vibe with lots of younger people which was also great for us.
The few negatives I had. The apartment was a bit smaller than I expected, but it’s probably typical for apartments in this area. I’d say it’s a little smaller than a hotel room, but this was fine for us since we were only there to sleep and change. But the apartment was very clean and had a comfortable bed. The neighborhood can get pretty loud at night. The night before we left there was a huge party going on in the courtyard from one of the neighbors on the first floor. Up until 12:30 it sounded like sorority girls performing chants. But then it quieted down after that. We should have just went down their and joined the party honestly haha. So be prepared for the neighborhood to be much more lively at night and especially on weekends.
