The only good thing about this Airbnb was the location in regards to proximity to NYC nightlife bars, restaurants, cafes, and subway.
Other than that, it was extremely cold, noisy, and uncomfortable. There’s a crack in the window which the AC is installed so we had to wear a sweater and jacket to keep warm when we slept. I actually left after the second night crashing on a couch of a friend of a friend in Queens while my husband roughed it. You can hear all the noise if anyone is walking by outside the window which is next to the bed. There’s a metal sidewalk cellar door that makes a loud sound anytime someone walks by. Across the street is Tompkins Square park which is home for a lot of homeless. It didn’t feel like a safe block.
It’s a small studio which would be perfect for someone who wanted to be in the heart of the east village and mainly used the place just to sleep if you’re out and about most of the day. Definitely should’ve booked a hotel instead!!Host offered an extra night
