This was a disappointing experience. I lived in NYC for 15 years and have stayed in many AirBnbs here now that I've relocated to Europe. Far from a 'gorgeous east village gem', this is a cheaply furnished, grubby, tiny first floor walk up. The main problem is the bed. It's listed as a QUEEN but is actually a full-size cot. It's not a real bed, but a cheap iron frame with an even cheaper, thin mattress. My gf and I could feel the metal frame through the mattress every night and, at 6ft3, my feet were hanging off the end. Moreover, the 'bedding' provided is a set of super cheap sheets and a weird, thin blanket - no comforter/duvet or proper bedding.
When we arrived, the apartment was not clean enough. The bedsheets smelled bad, the kitchen counter had dried food on it and the bathroom floor was dirty. The owner did refund the cleaning fee (and Amazon some replacement sheets) and I understand that cleaners sometimes aren't as thorough as they should be. But the whole apartment feels a bit grimy - thick layers of dust on top shelves, fridge top, raggedy curtains, posters taped to the wall etc. The furniture and fittings are as cheap as they could possibly be, so it feels like a student bedsit, with nowhere comfortable to sit or relax.
On checking in, you'll be sent a slightly odd email to tell you that (i) adjusting the boiler can result in a $400 fine and that (ii) the apartment and terrace have 'noise sensors' and that the police will be called if you make too much noise!
The terrace is OK if the weather's good although, again, not nicely furnished and untidy.
I was really glad to leave.
