The host is fantastic and the place is clean!
the pics and none of the reviews don’t show that this space is only appropriate for people who are 5 foot 7ish inches tall. Running through the entire place are pipes that provide service to the apartment building. These pipes are at the right height to walk your head on - I spent any time walking bent over because I am too tall
Some things that are annoying:
— at the front door there is a rubber pan to put your boots in. This only allows you to open the door to the unit half way
— the counter is 4 inches lower then standard and the deep sink requires someone like me (tall person) to do yoga just to get down to the bottom
Did I say something about pipes that you will whack your head on if you are taller the 5’5”
— you will not sleep in because the neighbors will wake you up early
— you don’t have control of the heat - but the place is comfortable in the winter
— Smoke detectors will go off from making toast
— there are no reading lamps beside the bed
Things I like
— fantastic location for me
— 3 blocks to the grocery store
— 1 block to a bus that takes you to the subway and destinations beyond
— good restaurants within walking distance
— beds are comfortable
— the host allowed me to do laundry
— internet worked great
I would go back because of location and value - plus the host is fantastic.
