They made the listing look like an apartment, but it’s actually a house shared with other airbnb listings. It is more like a hostel rather than an airbnb. There are six rooms and two bathrooms in the building. Although no one deliberately did something loud late at night during my stay, with many people in the house, I constantly heard toilet flushing, people walking around, washing dishes, etc. I also woke up multiple times because the heating was very loud. The room also looks a lot older than the pictures shown in the listing.
Communication with the host was easy, but most messages were “standard” messages. Because I had to extend my stay in New York, I chose a different airbnb room close to this place, it turned out that the place was a different room in the same building, although they are different listings under different names. I received the same messages and same responses from these two hosts.
The bathroom and the kitchen were always clean during my stay. The neighborhood itself is quiet and safe.
