This air bnb was worth it for the view alone. It was even better than I'd imagined--you can actually see the statue of liberty from the rooftop. Beautiful both in the day and at night. And there are a few chairs to use on the top roof as well as one on the smaller deck below. The yellow walls were lovely, too! Obviously, if you have a lot of luggage, the trek up the stairs is rough, but that's to be expected in most places around New York. Check-in was easy with the set of keys left in the mailbox. I will note that at the end of our stay I realized the hook lock on the bedroom door doesn't actually work--if you pull on the door while it's latched, it just pops right off and allows the door to open from either side. Something to give the guests a little more assurance of privacy/security could definitely be nice. I also was never able to find the TV remote but that wasn't really a big deal at all anyway. Overall we really enjoyed this air bnb, the view, the neighborhood, and the host's brother, David, was kind, quiet, and communicative. Would definitely stay again!
