Johnnie is an excellent host.
He kindly allowed us to reschedule our trip from when one of had covid. We’ve also been very good about communicating with us during our stay. We also loved the neighborhood. It is very vibrant. However I don’t think we would stay here again.
If you come, use public transportation. The apartment is very close to two subway stations.
It is also very hard to find a place to park people generally double park up and down both sides of the streets.
I’m sure this is not a regular occurrence, but we had trouble with the elevator one of the shafts was in operable and therefore it took a very long time to move up and down through the building and since we were staying on the sixth floor and had multiple bags - the elevator was essential.
The listing says that there’s air conditioning which is necessary given that the unit is on the top floor of the building and summers in New York can be quite warm. The unit had air conditioning however it is not central air conditioning.
The two bedrooms has window units which were fine for cooling the bedrooms but the unit in the living room doesn’t really work.
The bathroom shower and tub are very old and quite challenging to use - the hot water comes out scalding hot.
The back bedroom is pretty quiet - the front room had a lot of street noise.
