We were going to spend one day in NY but ended up spending two days since our flights were delayed. We found the price of this room to be extremely good and we were willing to share a bathroom for that price. We arrived and the house is a bit older but nice on the outside. Even when the instructions mentioned a side door, the door is not visible from the entrance or the driveway, until you walk into the driveway. We got in, the stairs are very tight and steep going into our room, (this is not a complaint just an observation for people considering their stay). The stairs look old and dirty even when there was no debris or garbage. Instead of arriving in the evening of our booking we arrived at lunch time the next day. To our surprise the cleaners had just arrived 5 minutes before, and we were glad they were there since the bathroom was quite dirty and I had to clean the toilet before using it with cleaning supplies that were there. The cleaners had started in a different part of the house. The bathroom sink had a metal necklace that had rusted for a few days. WE did complain, and according to the owner they clean the bathroom every day with a deep clean once a week. This bathroom had not been cleaned in a few days. The tub was also dirty. The ceiling has mold. The cleaners cleaned the bathroom partially since the toilet could have used a bit more and the tub too. The rust stain from the necklace even when cleaned was still showing a little bit which tells me that it had gone into the ceramic. In our room (#2) only one of the plugs works and there is a power bar to be abe to attach everything to it. Our room had not been swept and the plastic flowers were quite dusty, and if we had arrived as planned, the night before, we would have been very upset at having to wait for someone to come and clean. The drawers in the fridge were dirty and were not cleaned in some time too. The bed was comfortable and clean. I understand we were paying quite a low price in comparison to other places, and we were in NY to visit, so we didn't really spend a lot of time there, but it was still disappointing, and we did communicate this to the owner. The location of the place is quite good with very easy and cheap access to Manhattan via the 107 bus ($6 USD). It takes bout 40 mins. You need to check schedules for the bus because in the evening there is only one every hour with the last one at 12:05 AM As I mentioned to the owner, her place is nice and if it were kept clean it would be one of the best value for money locations near NY. If you are considering going, if they address these issues, you will enjoy it, otherwise, you know what to expect.
