My business partner/friend and I stayed in this Airbnb for a week. Generally speaking, it was very clean and cozy space to call home, and a good location. That said, here are some things to keep in mind for future travelers:
+ It’s a 4th floor walk up with three sets of locked doors from ground to top. We were only provided one set of keys from the lockbox and had to advocate with the host for another set, which they acquiesced to, but not without some pushing. For two people with different schedules, two sets of keys are absolutely needed for this apartment due to the door structuring
+ Being directly next to the Williamsburg Bridge, the smaller front bedroom is quite loud, so using the AC as white noise is necessary at night. Otherwise, it’s fun city-ambience that I personally enjoyed!
+ The most important call out is that *the only bathroom is IN the larger bedroom* which wasn’t initially clear from the listing. Luckily, my business partner and I are good friends, but this could have been an uncomfortable situation otherwise
+ It’s not the kind of space that a permanent resident lives in, so expect that in the kitchen amenities (I.e. no salt or olive oil and relatively sparse cooking utensils)
+ The sink faucets can get super hot super quickly, but the shower was never more than right at the threshold of hot
+ Finally, while we believe it’s due to the buildings recent renovations, there were quite a few calls from the host (that never manifested) asking for the super or maintenance people to have access to the apartment during our stay. I assume this will calm down over time, but something worth noting
All in all, it’s a nice space. The only main hesitation I would have about staying here again is that it’s not ideal for 2+ travelers for an extended period of time (considering the bathroom setup) but it’s a steep price point for the average solo traveler.
