I stayed at the property for about 5 weeks and it was an average to below average experience. The place is on the first floor of a walkup building in a great location - you are within minutes walking of Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho and Nolita which may be appealing to many. The place was spacious and clean when I arrived. The building is very safe despite the apartment being on the first floor. However, considering the steep price, I'm disappointed. First of all, when I arrived there were already issues. There was a huge crack in the back of the fridge, broken blinds so you couldn't close them at night for privacy, and the outlets were hanging by their wires from the wall. When we reported it, they sent a repair guy at an agreed upon time window to fix the outlets a day or two later but he disappeared while he was in the middle of the job and we ended up having to wait all day for him to come back. He did not know English so we had no idea what was going on and how long we'd have to be stuck at home. Then the blinds guy came a few days later and he did the same thing. Then the worse was the fridge situation. Though there was a crack that I reported on day 1, the host didn't do anything until I noticed condensation build up and the food in the fridge spoiling. The host replaced the fridge a few days later, but again it took an entire day of our visit with no clear time frame from the guys that came to install it. Then the left without installing the handle on the fridge so we were stuck trying to pry open the new fridge with our fingers because we did not want to lose yet another day waiting around for these guys.
Given the price, I do not think we should have had to lose at least 3-4 days sitting around while random repair guys came and disappeared and reappeared, a couple weeks of a non-operational fridge and then another couple weeks using a handless fridge. It was my expectation for Stay With Vibe to ensure everything is in working order before we arrived, which they clearly did not do.
Another issue was the neighbor's weekend parties. The walls are really thin and Friday/Saturday nights were pretty difficult to tolerate. If you are the type that is sensitive to noise, I wouldn't recommend staying here.
