Kathleen's 1 bedroom ground floor level apartment was perfectly located for what we were locating for. Authentic gems (markets, eateries, cafes) were sprinkled throughout the corners. So, for location, a 9 out of 10. Unexpectedly, but a nice surprise, her unit also provided some stocked kitchen and bathroom items that is great for those who may forget shampoos, bubble bath/salt, etc...
Unfortunately, for us, the 2 most important things, and 1 of them being a selection decision, will be the negative part of this review.
First, the bed (which in-my-opinion is the most important part of an accommodation) needs to be upgraded. This includes the pillows and sheets, which all were very unpleasant to spend a few nights in. We were truly disappointed to find it to be the lowest quality and felt very used. The second, was the hot tub, which my wife and I very much looked forward to after having walked from lower Manhattan, cross the Brooklyn bridge and back to Clinton hills, had us quickly jump out of and into the (very nice & roomy rain) shower instead. Why? well, once the jets turned on, it was clear to both of us that it had not been well cleaned...or cleaned at all. I will spare the details (variety of hairs) for the sake of brevity. Time spent in hot tub during entire stay = 2 minutes.
In either case, at the end of the day, after having spent a few nights here, I've made a mental note that for all my future AirBnB bookings, I will be inquiring as to the type of bed the accommodation offers. We sincerely hope Kathleen will invest in replacing the bed and necessary housekeeping for her future guests.
