The positives:
- Good location to explore from, very close to subway stations, Whole Foods and nice bars and restaurants close by
- Spacious inside, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows and towels
- Nice shower
- Value for money
- Good instructions, local recommendations and communication from Angelo, the host
The negatives:
- VERY noisy as it is above a bar (Coyote Ugly) which is open until 4am on the weekend. The music from the bar made the apartment walls vibrate on two nights which was pretty unbearable (Friday and Saturday), making it impossible to relax in the lounge and v difficult to sleep. No problem if you are here to party but not recommended for families. This should have been included in the description as it fundamentally affects the vibe of the place.
- The description “luxury” is also a stretch. The photos makes the apartment look nicer than it is - it is more like upmarket student accommodation (eg piece of cardboard holding air con unit together, no light switch in one of the bedrooms, no headboards on the beds). Fine but definitely not “luxury”.
- Smelly hallway (garbage bins).
