It's the most affordable 2BR near Manhattan, so that's the main value of this stay. The host was very responsive to all of my asks and questions during the stay, so we are very grateful.
The unit is on the 3rd of a very old walk-up building, with very narrow and steep stairs. Depending on the sizes and the amount of your luggage, you want to be mindful of that, as you can't really carry big bags in both of your hands as you climb up or down. I was traveling with my wife and a toddler, and had to make multiple trips up and down to get our stuff in and out. Also there is very limited grocery option, so the host recommended Walmart delivery service, which was helpful, but if you like to cook during your trip or have special dietary requirements, that could be a challenge.
The building is not sound-proofed well, so we could hear the downstairs neighbors fight every other night or make loud noises early into the morning hours. It's a very old building.
Overall if you are traveling on a budget with just friends or older children, this is a good deal.
