I can't recommend staying here. I'm sorry for the harsh review. I'll try to keep feelings out of it but at the end of the day, there was a previous review saying the futon couch was broken and Jack & Jo let us book it knowing one of us would sleep on it. Not only was the couch still broken but optically fixed to look fine, it fell apart with us SITTING ON IT!
I have pictures of the bent couch legs and a stool propping it up from under in the back... what if we were injured from your broken furniture?! Also the apartment is next to a bar which played loud music at night during 2 nights of our 4 night stay. It shook the walls and didn't stop until 1am. The listing said the building was quiet and not to make loud noise especially at night. The building itself is quiet but the music from next door made nights sleeping impossible. In the bathroom, the toilet paper holder and towel rack weren't there. Holes in the wall where they should be. There was only one coffee mug and dirty/dusty dishes in the kitchen. The sink in the bathroom was a bit clogged and slow draining but that was no one's fault there. The brick in the photos is wallpaper, but thats just a design choice that either you love or hate.
If they would clean and fix the holes/cosmetic problems, the airbnb would be worth the money to be in a walkable lower east side location. This was my first horrible airbnb experience out all my time staying in various listings. Please replace your futon couch, fix the broken issues and be honest about the noise levels.
