I've been living in Airbnbs for over a year and I know how important reviews are! Here's my take:
The Good:
- Location is amazing!
- A lot of light esp for a NYC apt
- Host very responsive
- Lots of extra sheets and blankets
- Bathroom/shower were great (hot water is A+)
- Immaculately clean
- Free shared washer dryer in basement
Should Be In The Listing But Were Not When We Booked:
- It's a *FIFTH FLOOR WALKUP*
- You can't control the temperature and the pipes are very loud
- They provide only the barest of essentials even for long stays (e.g. 1 paper towel roll, 2 rolls of TP, etc.)
Needs Work:
- Generally low quality furniture/cheaply done (e.g. lots of wires around tv and Roku placed on top, not secured)
- Beds very uncomfortable
- Kitchen is poorly equipped so bring your own pans if you plan to cook
- WiFi spotty on certain days, had to hotspot phone when trying to do work several times
- Lots of maintenance issues - when we checked in, both beds had broken slats, couch was torn beyond repair, multiple lights out. Maintenance person fixed these but a tough start
