The area is really nice and it’s almost the perfect localization. The room is tiny, like the pictures. For one person, it's enough but for two, it's almost impossible. The noise can be heard from outside but mostly from the host because sound-insulation is very bad. Was quite clean at the beginning of the stay but along the week, the apartment became more messy and dirty (I even had once to empty and clean the bathtub to take a shower since she had taken a bath and let the water stagnate the all night). I myself have repeatedly cleaned the sink and floor because she’s not really neat. I had to crush some cockroaches, that was less fun. When I arrived, I had to wait because she was not there. Idem for the checkout, I had to get by for a solution to leave the key somewhere. Indeed, the mailbox is inaccessible and I could not leave the apartment open. At the contacts, she talks a lot about her and her sleep or job problems and didn’t ask a single time about my stay. I found a pity not to be able to exchange a minimum about life in NYC but found solution in sharing with expat people with whom I spent part of my stay. Finally, interesting place but host a lot less. Was not really happy with that booking.
