Never got to meet Kaytlin until the night before my check-out after a 10 day stay. Location is fabulous but the apartment does not deliver. It's one notch above camping with a hefty price tag. Didn't worry me that the shower recess was in the kitchen ( that was detailed in the listing), it was the deteriorating state of the shower recess itself which made it feel unclean and mouldy. Also bath mats and hand towels that had not been replaced after previous guest/s, kitchen lino which had not seen a broom or mop in sometime and it was certainly not a 'Bright" space, but it was quiet.
The gas smell in the 'private toilet' in the hallway is unbearable (and am unsure why no-one has mentioned it before in reviews as its pervasive in that space) so if you have already booked ask to use the toilet next to it. It has no key and no gas smell. Clearly all the other residents use it so I am not sure why Airbnb guests can't? Why do we have to put up with the smelly (and who knows, maybe dangerous) toilet space? Loved New York. Loved Greenwich Village. What a shame I can't say I loved this space.
