-WORST EVER AIRBNB EXPERIENCE-
I booked this apartment for four months (there was a 120-night minimum REQUIRED stay!) and, unfortunately, I couldn't afford any alternative solution than to stay for the whole duration, from September 1st till December 30th, 2020. This is my experience:
1.	Location: the apartment is located two blocks south of MSG stadium and PENN Station. Very practical, good commute, almost in the middle of the city, you have quick access to many places. Unfortunately, due to the current difficult situation as well, the whole area is full of homeless and mentally unstable people. Moreover, poor lighting in the area makes things even more difficult at night. A short time after I moved in, I found FECES on a rug INSIDE the main hall. I called the host, who is also the building manager, and he took care of it in short time.
2.	Apartment: the building is very old and so is the apartment.
a.	I found old and rusty appliances and furniture, a broken wardrobe and a bandy mattress (probably overused). Very dirty, too. All the narrow spaces (sink-stove, behind the fridge, behind the heater, below the bed) filled with spider webs, dust and small pieces of trash.
b.	The toilet is extremely narrow and sensitive. I had to buy a plunger because it would clog after a simple use, with absolutely NO paper throwing whatsoever.
c.	The window curtains are smaller than the actual window, so there’s no shade from morning light.
d.	The window DOESN’T have a mesh screen. That, along with the fact that the apartment faces a lame backyard FULL of rats (and not the two-block-away-HighLine, in case somebody thinks that because of the pictures on the listing), meant that I had to be right next to the window every time I opened it in order to avoid very unpleasant intrusions.
e.	Why did I have to open the window? Because there was NO ABSORBER in the kitchen. I had to finish cooking and then try to clear out the smokey room, so I could be checking the window. I even had to take the batteries out of the “remote” (a.k.a. uninstalled) smoke detector that the host handed me, because the alarm would sound.
f.	Washer/dryer: the best and the only true correspondence between the listing and the actual apartment. Does exactly and efficiently the job it’s made for.
3.	Noise: the walls in this building are the THINNEST you can possibly imagine. I could hear all the other tenants, even when they were just talking, as if they were in my apartment. But what was absolutely unbearable, was the 24hour screeching sound of the old, wooden floor from the apartment just above me, where the tenant was just living his life and nothing more than that.
4.	Heating: the absolute disaster. I complained many times to the host about its inefficiency, and he told me it was generally regulated to work at 70F during day and night drops to 65F. I didn’t use a thermometer to verify. All I know is that there would be times during day that I was stifling (especially when I had the stove on for cooking) and had to open the window (and do the whole process that came with that!) to put cold air in and there would be times during night that the heating just wouldn’t go on, leaving me freezing. The heater is very old and every time it took on early morning it would wake me up with its loud release valve sound.
The host offered me as a solution a second comforter implying in a pejorative tone that I’m not used to cold climates because of where I come from (Greece). FYI, my hometown, Thessaloniki, has the same latitude as NYC, so I have quite some experience with real cold. As a result, instead of suffocating under the weight of two comforters every night, I ended up buying a small heater which helped a lot, even though there were some incredibly cold nights where nothing could be done. Adding to all that, the significant heat loss from the “in-out” air-condition unit with scotch tape and aluminum foil around as insulation.
Final Conclusions:

The listing and the actual apartment have absolutely NO CORRESPONDENCE to each other.
Renters, save your time, your money and your HEALTH by not booking this apartment.
Owner(s), gut renovate the place or put it out of the market because right now it’s absolutely NOT LIVABLE, especially for long-time stay.
IMPORTANT NOTE: my review is SOLELY regarding the apartment and the building. The tenants have been absolutely great. The host was reachable and typically accommodating (offered the comforter solution, cleared the feces, gave me the mailbox key when I asked for it), not willing to go the extra mile, though, and be of actual help. He went rather moody every time I expressed a complaint and almost “talked me out” of even writing a review in a conversation we had, when he realized it wouldn’t be a completely good one. He even had the nerve to call "fabricated" the pictures I sent to Airbnb when I requested a refund, as if I had nothing more "pleasurable" to do than taking and fabricating photos of dead rats on the street right in front of the building's main hall.
