A number of pro's and con's to this Airbnb space:-
PRO's
Easy check-in
Laundy Options
Comfy bed
Plenty of hot water
Good shower pressure
CON's
A lot of noise from neighbours / other apartments
Communal areas / hallways in poor state of repair and cleanliness
Gaps in shower tiles (not a problem for us but can imagine that will be a problem for the owner in the future)
General upkeep of decor and apartment needs attention
Apartment temperature is very very warm and cooling unit noisy so cannot leave on all the time / at night
The photos of the apartment are somewhat skewed as the available space is much smaller
The reception area can be busy with luggage and children.
Local Area
NYC seems to be full of construction and this local area is the same. Scaffolding outside the building made it difficult to see initially. Also a lot of homelessness and people asking for money which is sad but constant. Finally and this is a personal issue is the constant smell of drug use in the whole city
