We thought this place was a private property, not share, but that was probably our mistake.
THE NOT SO GOOD:
- It’s far from NY city center, if you need a place near La Guardia airport is great, but we went to Manhattan everyday, and it’s quiet a journey, it can take 1hr, between the bus and the subway, and more time if you are going downtown. Sometimes it took us up to an hour and a half if the frequency of the trains and buses was slow.
- There are other rooms, 5 approximately, all airbnb (not all in used while we were there, during our stay we saw 4 different groups), so you are asked to clean after yourselves, not leave hairs in the shower, wash your dishes etc, we did so, there was no rack to dry the dishes so we dried them and put them away straight away but other people didn’t so they just left them wet on the counter.
- On our first night we were woken up with a really loud noise that went on for at least 15 minutes, at first we couldn’t figure out what it was, it sounded like someone was drilling concrete outside, we then realised it was the heating on the wall. The host said it was because it had been off for so long and they only just turn it on and that was safe, the following night did make some noises but not so loud and not so long.
- The walls were thin, you could hear the people above moving, the people outside in the living room talking.
- My boyfriend and I used one bed only, then one night he moved to the other bed and got bitten by fleas when sleeping there.
- The walls of the shower space could be cleaner.
THE GOOD:
- Closed to rental car companies.
- Having things to eat for breakfast and hot beverages was nice, if you fancy other cold drinks you could also buy them there.
- The room was spacious.
- There was a multiple usb connector in the room where you could charge all your appliances at once.
- The communication with the host was easy, and he replied very quickly to the messages.
