You're getting a room for $35 so don't expect much. I would be okay with a utilitarian apartment as long as I could have some peace and quiet. I live in Brooklyn and all I really needed was a crash pad for the weekend for work - a bed for a few hours and a shower. Unfortunately, there's only one shower and it has to be scheduled in 30 minute increments between multiple guests due to hot water issues. Since two shower slots from 5AM to 6AM were full, I had to take my shower at 4AM. This is after trying to sleep the night before and being awoken by a terrific racket from the kitchen (someone cooking/cleaning?) at around 11PM the night previously.
I also noted that although there are 4 airbnb guests at a time, shower slots for most of the morning, as well as much of the evening were occupied. In actuality, I didn't notice anyone actually using those slots, despite occupying them. I just don't understand.
Some positives include free cereal and keurig coffee. They also have a hot water dispenser but it was out of water the entire time I was there. I also couldn't connect to the internet but I didn't bother to ask after the issue b/c it wasn't a big deal for me.
Ultimately, i'd recommend this for folks who are NOT on a schedule. In that case, it's a great option as you are right near the train and can get into the city without any issues and at a very reasonable price. I also noted that the apartment is clean as they run a tight ship here. They also have one of the friendliest cats i've ever seen and that really improved my experience.
Something bothered me. When I came to my room, it was still being set up by a lady who was not wearing a mask. It's indoors and there's no circulation - but fine - maybe they aren't too strict with precautions. Later, however, I encountered the proprietor and she gestures to me to move aside so she might pass me by. SARS viruses don't spread like a force field, emanating from the pores of the body. They are spread by folks speaking and breathing AT each other in closed confines. Perhaps it wasn't meant to be rude but I didn't feel it was fair.
