Pros:
A) My room faced the back of the building and was peaceful and quiet, which was great
B) The building is a short walk from a subway stop and a relatively short walk to Prospect Park
C) It’s an interesting old house that used to be a synagogue, so it has character and certain charm
D) There were fresh towels for use in the bathroom at all times
Cons:
A) The shared bathroom was not cleaned thoroughly once in the week that I was there. The shower floor should have been scrubbed as it had that orangey-pinkish stuff that starts growing in the bathroom when it’s not cleaned properly. The sink had a few unpleasant things stuck to it for several days and the toilet should have been scrubbed as well.
B) The shared kitchen sometimes had coffee stains and kitchen towels were not replaced over the week I was there
C) There was a guide to leaving Airbnb reviews in my room which felt somewhat exploitative
D) On the last day there was no hot water for 24 hours, so a shower was not an option
