Comfortable and newly renovated apartment in 4-unit building(formerly a house).
Excellent communication from host.
Great location.
Wonderful Nespresso coffee & Tea set up. Very nice touch!
Things to note:
1. upper floor balcony lights are super bright & there didn’t seem to be a way to turn them off. - Excellent for security as it lights up parking and the yard… not so good for sleeping as the way that the ill-fitting blinds were hung it felt like Times Square was just outside.
2. Noise:
Major construction happening two lots north = noise, jackhammering and the building shaking in the morning ~ but this should not be a dealbreaker as likely temporary.
Also the trolly runs right in front and dings and clangs, but i actually found this charming.
3. The Sofa appears to be leather from the images, but it’s a faux leather-looking fabric. This was my only disappointment.
4. Felt a little corporate with reiterated messages about strict & inflexible check-in & check-out times.
As a former host I feel if an Airbnb is unoccupied & clean the night before then an early check in (or when possible a late check out) should be offered.
Note: I did not ask for either because I did not need.
Overall: This listing is RECOMMENDED.
