As many reviewers said, the host is very attentive and responsive. All my questions and concerns were addressed pretty much immediately and requests were satisfied. That’s a huge plus. The location is great, very close to the 72st Street Q train station. The apartment is cozy and they really tried to do a great job with decorating / making feel home-y.
Laundry room only has one washer and one dryer but surprisingly I never had problems with accessing it and never had to wait. Operated by a special laundry card so no need to worry about coins/quarters.
As far as cons, the building is old. I could hear my neighbours upstairs all the time. The floors are squeaky, the AC is loud, and there’s almost no sunlight coming through as windows are facing the back of another building. The apartment looks cozy on pictures but overall has an old feeling in person. Window treatments are pretty dusty.
Kitchen appliances, toaster especially was super old with lots of grime and old breadcrumbs in it, so I decided to just not use any of them and put them in a cupboard for the whole time I was there.
I stayed for ~10 weeks and when after 1 week in I decided to clean and moved the dresser to vacuum behind it there was so much dust and hair as if they never ever cleaned there.
Overall I think it was an ok value for the money, I was pretty happy there but would pick a different place if I had to come back.
