This is the most honest review I can write. It is intended to be factual and not intended to disparage.
FIRST things first, the photos in this listing do not accurately represent the space. This listing shows a larger room with one queen bed, however the room that you are actually booking with this stay is a much smaller room which only has space for a queen bunk bed. (read description of listing) The photos of the common area do not represent the space either. Things have been moved around and the space is much more untidy and is used as a storage space for odds and ends.
The room: As stated above, this is a small room with a large queen bunkbed in it and one small chair and nothing more. It would be nice if the space had a shelf or a small table or some hooks on the wall so you could hang up your clothes or bags. We found ourselves having to lay our clothes out everywhere causing the already small space to be even more cramped. Lastly, the room itself does not have a separate key. That may or may not be concerning to you.
The common space and bathrooms. The common space although large, it did not seem inviting. There was random boxes and cleaning products through out. The sofa had seen better days. The counter tops and kitchen table were sticky. Both the kitchen and bathroom faucets were loose and appeared like they could fall apart at any moment.
In closing, this space is good if you just need a spot to rest your head while adventuring in New York. Its cheap compared to other spots and is close to a fun neighborhood and train stop. But that's really where the positive marks of this Airbnb stop. If your exceptions are low, you will be pleased.
The Positives:
Cheap
Close to train stop
Check in very easy
Hosts easy to reach
Shower was surprisingly hot with good water pressure!
The Negatives:
Misleading listing
Room wasn't much more than a bed
Dirty
Common space uninviting and unkept
Backyard space uninviting and unkept
