The location was great for my family and I to be able to take the subway into NYC each day we were there. The unit itself was clean however I was not impressed with the fact that the dishes were just sitting in the dish strainer instead of being put away in the cabinets. In my original confirmation message it was said that check in instructions would be provided the morning of arrival. I was starting to get worried as we were traveling soI checked with the host about check in and she said it would be automatically sent at 4pm when check in was. Just after 6pm we still had not received check in instructions so I messaged and instantly received them. This tells me that no you do not get them the morning of nor automatically at 4pm. Thankfully we were not arriving until late in the evening but it was beginning to be a little worrisome on if we were going to be able to get in and we were traveling states away. There were also no check out instructions so we had no idea what we were to do with towels or bed linens. We just did what we typically do at any place we have stayed at. Communication could definitely be much better regards to check in/out.
