The place is in a convenient location, interior was clean, with great safety (with doorman) and got almost everything we needed like the coffee machine, smart samsung TV, towels, etc. What I find a bit odd was that there was a paper-towel rack but we could not find any paper-towels. There was only one toilet paper in a 2 bathroom apartment, but the host responded and took care of it the next day, which is the reason why I am giving them a 4 star instead of 3. We were not bothered by the sound of the road, and checkout was a breeze.
However, if I had to speak from the perspective of a Superhost with 9 listings in NYC, as well as an experienced Airbnb traveller (I have booked places from $50 to $500/night), I got to be honest that I was a bit disappointed to see what was offered from the apartment. Like many other reviews, the furnitures were outdated, some shades of the blinds were missing, there was rusts in the bathroom etc. It felt a bit like an Airbnb Motel. I know the price we paid was not 5-star hotels, but I would suggest the host to post more realistic photos just so that consumers know what we are paying for. I was definitely misled by the photos like many others.
In addition, I found myself in a similar incident like another guest in the reviews saying the directions/instructions to the place was more complicated than most - I was not able to find the car park, so I called the host for help. Despite telling her my location multiple times, the reply I got was "Did you read the instructions?" and "Did you follow the instructions?" and "So you did not follow the instructions." If other guests and I were not able to find the place, future guests are likely to face the same problem too. The host could consider improving the instructions by simplifying it (with attached photos?). Otherwise, I would suggest potential guests to just "Read and Follow the instructions."
