This apartment was fine, but definitely below what I consider to be a normal standard for air BNB. I have stayed in a lot of places and I rarely write a negative review, but I feel its worth noting because I specifically chose this place based off of it's positive reviews.
for negatives, the room itself was nice, but all of the common areas were very dirty. The bathroom was gross, the kitchen was a mess the entire week I was there, the trash was overflowing. The dishes were so full in the sink I couldn't even fill my water bottle, and old food was left on the stove overnight.... The whole place other than the bedroom smelled pretty bad. Additionally, there was another air BNB guest staying in the apartment with me, which I wasn't aware would be happening. As a solo woman traveler, this sort of stuff can be really uncomfortable... It wasn't, but I still feel like this should have been made more clear.
For positives, it was very affordable! The room I stayed in was clean and syalish. The neighborhood is amazing and the location is wonderful. The hosts were friendly.
Neutral, the room was INCREDIBLY loud, subway below, and very noisy street traffic outside. This didn't bother me personally, but would maybe bother others.
If you don't care about a really dirty common area, and are looking for a cheap place to sleep in a hip neighborhood, this place is nice.
If you don't like the smell of fryer grease and trash... Maybe pick another spot.
