Pros:
-great location for Astoria (food, trains, laundromat right by, nice residential street)
-wonderful view from bedroom and roof
- no noise at all in then bedroom from traffic or neighbors
- responsive and responsible host
Cons:
-has old radiators attached to a central building heater, so the temperature control isn’t the best. It can get hot. However, most older buildings in NYC are like this I think.
-The bedroom radiator can be a bit noisy when turned on (I actually kept the radiator off while sleeping for this reason and was fine)
-The bedroom didn’t have blackout curtains (that could be an easy fix for the host). It makes sleeping easier.
