Pros-
Great location close to Williamsburg bridge and 10 min walk to Macey subway station
Fast wifi
Spacious for NYC
Fast host responses
Good neighborhood
Interesting eclectic furnishings
Clean apartment
Nice shower
Very nice grocery store 3 blocks away.
Cons-
Steps to loft are treacherous even when fully awake (no handle or wall to hold, first step down has wide gap between step and floor - have to step up before descending steps so very easy to trip)
Lots of random stuff all over apartment feels like staying in someone else's space.
No carpet or rug on cement floor.
No thermostat control. Was a bit chilly.
No functioning fridge- bought a bag of ice that lasted about a day and a half in the freezer - which is about like just using a cooler.
Kitchenette is pretty limited. No microwave or toaster. Just a couple pots/pans.
Was my first time to airbnb in NYC so can't real comment on overall value.
