First off, this was my first ever AirBNB experience, and it was great. Patty was a great host, very easy to get ahold of, and responded quickly. She was very friendly, and left a great list of suggestions in the area. I would give Patty 5 stars as a host for sure.

The apartment is very cute and comfortable, I shared the room with my best friend, she slept in the loft and I slept on the daybed. We never once felt cramped or crowded or in each others way. The pictures are an accurate representation of the unit. The location is great, close to the Grand/Chrystie subway station. It gives you a great authentic NYC experience. The 24 hour deli/market under the building was very useful. We stayed out until 5 am most nights and never felt unsafe in the area or walking back from the subway station.

The only Con I can say about the place was the heat. That is beyond Patty's control and she checked multiple times to make sure we were comfortable. The AC unit works, but it does not cool the whole unit. Being from the South we cling to our AC, so after walking all day in the NYC heat we would come back to a hot apartment. We kept the blinds closed to not let in any extra heat and it was still hard to handle. The bathroom is also very spacious by NYC standards but it has very little ventilation, so since two of us were trying to get ready it often felt like 1000 degrees in there, so we would shower with the lights off, to not add any extra heat. This is a personal preference as far as temperature is concerned and may not be an issue for everyone.

Overall, I would 100 percent recommend this apartment, just know that it may be hot in the dead heat of summer.
