Overall:
So grateful for our stay at Tinnie's apartment! This airbnb is so spacious and comfortably housed us for the entire month. The living room is absolutely huge with a lot of natural light so it was perfect to work from home from during our stay. The living room convertible bed is actually incredibly comfortable and the kitchen was great to cook in.
Room/Amenities
- Storage space and rooms are huge! Plenty of space to get comfortable
- There are two AC controls, one for the living room and a separate one for the bed room. They can be a little wonky to get to work, but once you get the hang of it they're really convenient.
- Washer and dryer was crucial for us, the dryer doesn't have a super low temperature setting so just be wary of your more delicates
- Getting packages delivered was a nice touch since the lobby attendants would securely and safely take care of everything delivered to the location
- We frequented the gym on the 2nd floor quite a few times. There's a lovely pool table and "rent-a-device" machine in case you needed to rent anything for your room
Location:
- The location is right next to a dog park so you get to see a lot of adorable pups every morning and afternoon
- This airbnb is also a 5 min walk to Hudson Bay which I jogged at regularly and maybe a 3 min walk to Soulcycle, Whole Foods, Target. Plenty of nice little cafes and bodegas for all your needs.
- The only thing is that it is about a 10-15 min walk to the nearest train stations, so we ended up ubering a bit if we needed to get to other parts of Manhattan/Brooklyn because of the 95+ degree weather. Other times it was totally fine to hop on the train
- This area is overall very breathable and safe, you also have the key fob to access the backdoor if needed
Only note:
- Totally understand the market demand of NY housing during this time period, so we knew what we were paying for and the luxury/space we were paying for! It just would've been great if part of that value, a couple of other things were stocked coming into the location (dish sponges, some shampoo, hand sanitizer) Some things are more on the barren side but that gave us a lot of room to work with & Tinnie was amazing with communication. She also helped order another lamp when we mentioned needing a little bit more light in the living room at night.
- Not sure if the bathroom vent was or wasn't working, but we ended up having to be careful of smells building up in there (bought a candle and some potpourri too.) I'm sure if we had noticed early we would've been able to put in a service request
Very little to complain/be wary/be critical about at all. Very thankful for Tinnie's communication and the speed of maintenance
