I stayed here for the entire month of April. Vacation for the first week and then WFH for the rest. Paul is attentive and responds fairly quickly to my messages, from setting up check in, to having issues with the key to get in, to notifying him of power outages/maintenance company notices. You might want to get a tour of the place or a break down of tips/reminders you might need to know during your stay just so both of you are on the same page.
The unit is in a prime location. The pros of that being 2minutes away from the Myrtle Av/Broadway MTA station platform the moment you walk out your door and having many cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, and businesses just downstairs and a laundromat 5min walk around the corner. You can get to LES in less than 15 minutes. One con would be the sound of the J or M train every 5-10 minutes, which is loudest in the living room and maybe 10dB lower in the bedroom with the door closed, all of which you probably will get used to after a week. Another is the bustling noise of Broadway, as the immediate area can be a little seedy especially at night, probably because the train tracks cover up so much sunlight, the station is a main stop so there are usually some characters nearby, and the bar(s) downstairs are bumpin on the weekend. The surrounding streets are the complete opposite though, very bright and less local activity.
There aren't many detail photos of the unit, but it still gives a good idea of what you might expect. It has the essentials of what you will need for a short or long stay. You may need to buy things like shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, cooking oil, spices and marinades, like I did, or you might be lucky if a previous renter did not finish using and left some for the next renter, also like me. I ended up cleaning the unit a bit shortly after checking in because I found many hairs, dust, and off-putting stains in various places. You notice one thing and then another and then you're just on high alert, or you don't care/are oblivious. I had to clean out the vacuum to be able to use the vacuum lol. The kitchen sink drains slowly even after two Drano bottles. Shower curtain was moldy. Bathroom mirror had toothpaste spots with shaved facial hairs. So many broken floor tiles hidden under many small carpet floor mats. The metal bracket to support the box spring was barely hanging onto the bed frame. The Wi-Fi is fast (usually at least 150Mbps download and 6Mbps upload) only in the bedroom. It is non existent in the living room, so I moved the work desk/table into the bedroom. Most of these issues I fixed myself, as I am a bit of a handy man and solve my own problems. Some of these I learned to deal and live with, as I am getting charged a cleaning fee anyway. But also it's like, what is Paul gonna do? Hire some people to come into the apartment and fix/clean it while I'm working from home? I have social anxiety. He probably would do that though if I said something, but I don't want to sound like a burden/annoying ungrateful guest. I'm already checked in/couple days into my stay and it's "mine" for a month, so I'll do something about it myself.
At the beginning of my stay, I had high anxiety. By the end of my stay, I was comfortable because I made things work for me. Do I think it's worth the rent? No, but that's Airbnb/New York for you. You may find something better for you; you might not. Would I stay here again? Yeah, cost aside or if things get spruced up/professionally cleaned. I'm familiar with the area and know what I'm getting myself into (hopefully you will now, too). All in all, this was my own experience, which I wouldn't take back. So take what you will from this.
