When I visited New York for the first time it was important to me to stay in an an Airbnb that reflected real New York living and this space did exactly that. The decor, the brick wall and the loft bed and the location were perfect. After walking to all the surrounding amazing restaurants
(OBAO, il Melograno, Lilly’s Kitchen - just to name a few) & Times Square it felt so cool to walk up to this apartment feeling like it was my place in NYC! 🗽🌃 There was enough space to fit my mom, my sister and I comfortably. 🥰
We all had a great time together although we did find there to be a few hiccups.
The check in process was a little confusing as their check in host was someone else and they had to come meet us to physically let us in (no lock box). I was also given the wrong house number initially. He was really nice though! His name was Taha ☺️
The bathtub was SO slippery (my mom fell.. ) The drain was extremely backed up so when we were taking showers we were standing in more than an inch of dirty backed up water which felt super gross. 😖
The description sent to me described there being a lot of things that there actually was not.. The kitchen described there being coffee but there was only enough coffee for maybe 1 or 2 cups. ( it was a single serving coffee machine I thought it would be a coffee pot). The description sent to me said there was a microwave which there wasn’t and it was mentioned to put your dishes in the dishwasher but there was not a dishwasher. I think there was 1 clean sponge we were able to find and no dish towels to dry the dishes. There was also no safe in the room but it showed this in the public description.
For the price of this Airbnb being pretty expensive, I was expecting just a bit more thoughtfulness and attention to detail to be put into our stay.
Although the response time to some of these issues was pretty good (new towels and coffee were put in our room while we were out, and a safe was brought to us and communication throughout) the initial attention to detail lacked in certain areas.
None the less it was a fantastic trip and I would definitely recommend staying here for the location alone, as long as these issues I mentioned were fixed☺️
