Pros: Ok location towards downtown/financial district. Fairly spacious for NYC. Subway is a quick walk to get anywhere and it’s close to the seaport district and battery park. It has huge windows for great light and city views.
Cons: check in process is convoluted, but as it turns out it’s likely because there aren’t supposed to be Airbnbs in the building, as confirmed by the doorman, who confronted us and the poor cleaning lady when we first got there. Sweet talking the doorman helped, but it was an unpleasant way to start the trip. The rationale given for checking in at a different location (“drivers and GPS can’t find it”) is factitious as no drivers or other services had any trouble finding the building.
The place needs a deep cleaning. Badly. It’s superficially clean, but the shower curtain was disgustingly moldy and doors/molding were dirty and peeling as examples of the TLC this place needs.
The listing indicates there are two pull out cots but only one was available.
