It’s a fine option if you are staying for a short period and mainly eating out. We felt that for long-term stay such as ours it wasn’t the best option we could’ve chosen.
Pros: Location is great! Very close to Central Park, restaurants, bars, different subway lines. Clean, easy check in, friendly neighbors, responsive and fast (the bed was a bit broken and they replaced it the very next day). You can easily get deliveries and packages.
Cons: What you see is what you get. The place is small, dark and the street outside gets loud (as most apartments in New York). They really only provide the very bare minimum essentials and you will have to invest in “extra” things: want to open a can.. buy your own can opener; dry the dishes.. buy a rack or dish towel; clean the counter.. buy your own rag or paper towels; use the oven.. buy your own pan; you get the idea, a single roll of toilet paper, a couple of hotel sized shampoos and a bit of dish soap and a sponge were provided. Again, they are doing nothing wrong, it is shown in the pictures and listing, however these are some factors that may help in decision-making processes for some.
