We came here for a long weekend to celebrate being done with a tough period at work for both of us. This location is fantastic, communication easy and very nice, nice building and lots of really cool and unusual/special art -- really makes you feel like you're somewhere unique and special. The garden area is also beautiful and it was wonderful to have laundry available! But I do wish I had had a better sense of how... weird an experience this was going to be, I guess. It was confusing to me that the unit is kinda like two separate apartments, one with bedrooms, one with kitchen/living area/garden/piano etc. Overall the experience of staying here was just kinda... Strange? Not bad, but weirder than I thought. Found dental floss from someone else on the rug, there was already stuff in the garbage when we arrived, no hand towels in the bathrooms (we used one of the available full size towels), coffeepot available but couldn't find coffee filters where instructions said they were, had a a bit of a hard time figuring out how to turn on all the beautiful lights, towels have...existed for a long time, kinda unusual tv setup (we just used personal computer but tv is there near primary bed). Nothing was extreme or uncomfortable, totally fine, but for us definitely stranger than most short city Airbnb stays.
Due to ?? outside reason, maybe just for the time we were there for a few nights (don't know), not due to the host in any way I can see -- might not be ideal if you're allergic to cigarette smoke, we smelled it every night coming from the outdoors thru closed windows :/
This is a gorgeous brownstone in a fantastic location and you'll probably never have experienced staying anywhere like this before, and the fireplace and garden are amazing, and it's very spacious, so I'd that's what you're looking for it's great. But definitely... kind of a weird experience for us.
