Pros: Ed was a polite and responsive host. Kitchen area was well stocked and bathroom seemed newly remodeled. Location allowed for easy access to a subway station and bus stops, with some nice restaurants in walking distance.
Cons: Neighborhood was pretty noisy, not exactly a peaceful stay. The place smelled of smoke when we walked in, which to me says the place wasn’t cleaned well enough. Many dishes in the pantry were dirty. Not enough toilet paper or towels for our length of stay (4 days). Bedrooms were tiny and mattresses were pretty uncomfortable. Electric outlets in the bedrooms were not working. The place could have used more amenities to make it comfortable.
This Airbnb was pretty bare bones. You get what you pay for, but next time I would definitely spend more to be more comfortable.
