We booked this listing as a full house, 3 beds/2 bath on the bottom flloor, 1 bath in the main level, and then 3 bedrooms with 4 beds/1 bath on the top floor. On the day of arrival we were told that the bottom level had a different entrance , so that you had to go outside and around the corner of the street to enter it. This did not work for us as we were traveling as a group with children and did not feel safe not having direct access to the lower level and would never have booked the house if we were aware that this was the case. We arrived in the middle of the night and contacted the host Daniel first thing the next morning. He agreed that it was not a good fit for us as it was and agreed to open locked doors to a staircase that allowed us to move between the floors without needing to go outside. He also brought us bagels for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated.
Pros:
- Beautiful, clean, spacious house, that is exactly as the pictures show.
- Great location that is very central to everything, also very safe, good neighborhood.
- grocery stores and food options within walking distance.
- lots of bedrooms and bathrooms
-main level and upper level had lots of ACs so we were able to be nice and cool in those areas.
- host provided huge water bottles, so we were able to just refill our small water bottles and have filtered cold water for the whole week which was awesome.
Cons
-lowest level was very hot, only one small AC for the entire area which is not enough. Daniel brought in another fan that helped but still ended up being very hot downstairs.
- there was also mosquitos on the lowest level so the kids complained of being bitten. The main and upper levels were completely fine though.
- toilet paper provided but you may want to bring your own
Overall we really loved the house and the location. We would definitely book it again if we were to go back to NYC. Daniel was an amazing host. He answered our texts pretty much immediately and went out of his way to solve our issues, and make sure that we were happy during our stay.
