Ok so if this place is still available for your dates, you are in luck and you should book it asap. Why? I think the biggest reason to stay here is Rachel, the host. She is incredibly generous, hospitable and super friendly; I think she should be listed as a "superhost". She went out of her way to make my trip comfortable. I was at another AirbnB that had major issues and wrote to Rachel last minute who accepted my request and ensured a very pleasant stay. She went out of her way to help me with checking in, laundry, amenities, and even accommodating a brief stay for my friend who came to visit. She replies super fast and ensures every little details is taken care of! If that isnt enough, this place itself is exceptionally charming, artfully decorated and in an old historic building basically right under the Brooklyn Bridge! You can walk to most places in downtown, Fulton Street Subway is just 10 mins walk away, M15 uptown bus from Pearl street is 5 mins walk away, and the place is right on the water front! You can stroll around the East River with amazing views! Also, the place is unique as you open the door right onto the street which makes it all the more charming. The interior is spotless clean and so cutely decorated. When you book here, you acknowledge that the place is right on street level and so prone to noise from traffic but this will be an issue ANYWHERE in Manhattan and should NOT discourage you from this place as its reasonably quiet for Manhattan! The seaport district is quiet and theres no loud, drunk people. As for cars passing by, well Rachel will give you a bunch of ear plugs AND a white noise machine so really sleeping well is not an issue. There is a kitchenette, an electric shower with steamer, and a private washroom, all for a decent and affordable price (considering its in one of the most sough after areas in Manhattan). If this place is available, seriously its the best combo of value, cleanliness, privacy and comfort in an unbeatable location and you should just jump on it. You can't go wrong!
