We had a great stay in NYC! Lets start with the pro's: Communication - quick and clear communication. Katie sent me a "welcome" packet before the trip, which included directions to the house, house "rules", local tips and dining recommendations. Location - cant beat it! Great location near bars and plentiful dining options. Subway is on same block. If you are looking to be in the action, but not in tourist location, this is it. Central of city as whole, so easy to get north and south. Space: Two queen bedrooms, kitchen and nice size living room. Ample space for 3 of us. Bathroom was a little tight, but large mirror in living area served us well. AC in living room and one bedroom, which kept us comfortable in the 90 degree weather, and also kept the noise out. Noise: So, other reviewers were accurate - there is a "club" next door, and you can hear them rockin' into the morning hours. White noise machine and AC really worked. It was loud, but I slept great both nights. As for traffic / people noise, I would as normal.
Cons: lock & door knob! Seems like an easy fix. Key hole would just spin - like you thought it was going to spin right out! Door knob the same thing! Just nerve wracking if you cant get in or out. Thats my only con!
Overall great location and place to stay!
