You pay for what you get. I get that the buildings are very old but it’s just annoying you hear every sound and movement from upstairs and outside, it’s even worse at night. The place was clean but smaller in person than in pictures. The kitchen was nice but we didn’t plan on cooking or anything. If you plan on being in Manhattan most of your trip I suggest you spend a little more to stay closer there. The city is about 1hr away and a 16 min walk to the subway from the Airbnb. There is a smell when you come in but that’s thats typical for NY. Also, we left the city early so we wouldn’t have to walk in the neighborhood at night.
