Stayed here for a little over two months in the summer and it was overall a good stay. The room is very private and I didn’t hear much noise from other guests unless they were in the kitchen and then I would sometimes hear sounds or smell what they were making.
It looks exactly like the pictures.
Pros:
-close to G subway station and ten minutes from C
-Starbucks around the corner and a nice market/cafe
-a/c
-private space and bath
-very big space for New York
-so much storage space and hangers provided
-really nice bathroom, no problem with water or anything
-awesome pull out chair/bed
-really easy check in and entry
-private room key, felt very secure
-AMAZING WiFi, never had a single problem or slow down
-dishwasher and cleaning service that comes to clean the kitchen once a week
-plenty of kitchen space and I didn’t cook but roommates seemed to find it okay. I’d recommend bringing a Walter filter pitcher though because there wasn’t one provided and it was nice to have cold water.
-free street parking and never had a problem with guests finding a spot within a couple blocks
-Erica is super responsive to any questions or problems
Cons:
-not a very exciting neighborhood to walk around
-old building, very creamy stairs
-a/c is a portable room one and could not combat the heat wave we had very well. Also no a/c in kitchen or stairwell and was not hooked up when I arrived although Erica was super responsive about getting it set up
-washer and dryer are coin operated and the dryer is very small and honestly barely worked. I would do a small load and even after 90 minutes it wouldn’t be dry. Ended up air drying most things.
-bed was not comfy at all but it was big with sheets and blanket and pillows provided
Overall it was a good stay, probably could have found a better deal if I was willing to wade through sublets and take a chance on a no review place but for an Airbnb it was well-priced and I’d recommend, especially for someone who doesn’t mind traveling a little bit for shopping and things to do. It provided a nice refuge to veg out and stream tv where I felt private and safe and could fit all the stuff I needed for two plus months, so it was great.
