Not to be recommended for a visit to New York City. You have to take a bus, then the PATH, which you will have to pay separately from Metrocard. It takes quite a long time, too.
Darlene sent us the arrival code late, and stayed on the phone when she finally opened us, which I did not appriciate.
Before we booked, she gave us wrong information regarding said NYC Metrocard, saying that it was valid in New Jersey (PATH and local buses), which it is not.
When I complained about this, she first did not accept this, and then proposed us less money then I asked for as compensation. She proposed 100 Dollar (I had to spent about 270 Dollars more for PATH and buses for my whole family for 7 days), while I had asked 150 Dollar.
We had problems with the windows, and cockroaches. She sent her contractor, who took care of the windows, and wanted to spray against the roaches, while we were there, warning us that this would stink several hours. I refused the spraying, ad I did not feel safe about it. Nor did I want him to come by while we were out for privacy concerns. I think pest-control should be done beforehand, not while the guest are already there.
The apartment was very hot; the air-conditioning is above the bed in the living room and very noisy. This was not visible in the photographs.
When we left, Darlene finally payed us only about 80 Dollar, saying she had to call the contractor for nothing. If she would have paid the 100 Dollar, I would popably have accepted it, even if I was not satisfied. However, this was the last straw, and I finally had to contact Airbnb. They accorded us,the 150 Dollar I asked for.
