TLDR: I had a bad experience at Roy's Airbnb. He misled me about listing and made no effort to address the issue and forced me to go to Airbnb to get my money back. However, to be fair, for most people who just need a barebones hostel, his place will do fine, though the rules for staying are stringent and it felt like an impersonal bootcamp, not a bed and breakfast.

I had a very negative experience Roy's Airbnb. However, in the interest of fairness, his place, effectively a barebones hostel, will work fine for most guests who just need a place to crash to go to Manhattan etc.
In my case, he misled me about the listing in ways that materially effected my experience and then tried to gaslight me until I had to go to Airbnb to arbitrate for a full refund (which I won). The issue was that I wanted a room with a bed and a couch or chair etc to work remotely during the day. This was a requirement and his listing showed a convertible couch sofa. However, when I arrived all I saw was a two single beds (one rolled under the other) with small head pillows and not even back pillows. Therefore, in no way did this constitute a sofa bed. Working for 8 hours a day out of a single bed with no back cushions is not practical. Roy made no effort to fix the issue and even held steadfast that a single bed with small head pillows was indeed a sofa bed and forced me to go to Airbnb to get a refund (which I won). Also, while we were in this disagreement, he continued to spam me with auto/template messages to extend my stay which became quite frustrating.
All in all, I found his no frills hostel experience pretty mediocre (even putting aside the sofa bed issue) as it the rules for staying there were quite stringent and it felt like living in a bootcamp. Also, the customer service was quite impersonal and became quite frustrating when my experience there went South. In my view, it's antithetical to what a true Airbnb is, however for the price it's decent if all you care about is having a place to sleep at night. Would probably give 3/4 stars if not for the misleading listing issue.
