The hosts are very good at responding to issues guests might have while staying at the place which was quite helpful! There were some points guests might want to know though. Here are some:

1. There is no wifi. There was none when I was there, anyway.

2. The electricity went out a couple times there which did not happen at the other two places I stayed.

3. The bed is very firm to the point of being hard (which might be perfect for some people, but was too hard for me)

4. The place is quite small (not the usual idea of a "Penthouse", but about the size of a studio apartment that has twelve steps leading up to the bedroom/bathroom area)

5. There are 3 different locks that need to be opened and re-locked (upon entering and leaving). Especially the one leading to the balcony area was very tricky.

6. The elevator is very small and might not be big enough for everyone's luggage or more than 2 people. It's about 2 feet by 3 feet.

7. The hosts ask that guests collect their trash form the baskets and take it down to the garbage bins on the street before leaving. i've never had a host require this. It really seems to me to be the job of the host and not the guest.

8. The toilet seems a bit sensitive and though I did not throw any excess paper or products into it, it was clogged for awhile. The hosts were very good about responding by calling the doorman to come up and unclog it (since there was no plunger or drano there) but the guy actually did not show up until early the following morning, waking me up.

9. There was no spare roll of toilet paper or paper towels to be seen, so guests might want to prepare for that.

The hosts were very sweet but honestly if I had known all this I would have just paid $30 more per night and stayed at a hotel.
