Overview: 2 out of 5 - I’m being generous
Location / Safety: fine. Not too close to Broadway. Feels safe enough. However, one thing that wasn’t accurate to the listing when we arrived was the external security gate. While we were there, there was no code to get into the property, rather just doors that would open for anyone. Didn’t bother us, but I understand others might want the extra security.
Other inaccuracies: I wouldn’t say this listing has TV with cable. It has a tv with access to apps that you can log into + a weird selection of random shows. But it’s not “cable” television in how it’s commonly understood in the states.
Washing machine is broken, too. Not great for us as this was the last stop on the trip.
Other Notes: Bed is NOT comfy. Pretty loud being on the ground floor - not only from the street, but from above.
Host was communicative, but the instructions weren’t accurate and were overly complex (yes, ironic considering my long-winded review). For example, there were instructions to get into a security gate that didn’t exist.
In total, we ended up paying approx. $575/night with taxes/fees, so we simply expect something a little bit better than 2-stars.
This is the kind of Airbnb that has me starting to book more hotels again. I believe & hope the hosts can turn this around, but I’d give it a few months before giving this place a try.
