Buyer beware. This apartment appears to be clean and simple but that is not the case. The air conditioner and the blinds were very dirty and dusty. The apartment building smelled as you entered and people were hanging outside under the overhang as it was raining and it served as a refuge for some. The kitchen is basically all locked up with the exception of one high up cabinet that I could not reach with used plastic utensils. The two umbrellas left at the door were broken and one of them the handle was taped with scotch tape, which fell off the minute you picked it up. The heat was unbearable and not mention of New York radiators was mentioned in the listing. The flat screen TV as seen in the photos did not have any cable or TV hook up. You had to use a PC and it was written on a post-it note on the table in front of the TV and not in the listing. The information sheets were dirty with dried on wine or food, which was quite disgusting. The host was not at all accommodating or concerned with my concerns when I arrived and I was promptly told that he was just about to get on a 12 hour flight to Japan. Needless to say, I never heard from him again. The host claimed the price of the room was much less that local hotels, and this turned out to not be the case at all. I was able to get a hotel room my first night and it was just around the corner and amazing for a lot less that what I was being charged. If you don't mind funky dirty, this place is for you. I will say the bathroom looked clean but I did not stay to find out how it functioned. The accommodations were not at all comfortable and it was a health risk to me so I was unable to stay. Host did not accommodate me to my fullest request and I can not give him a positive review. In fact, I am afraid to use Airbnb in New York in the future. I was told by a friend that they were given a bed in the laundry room, so I suppose this host has one thing going for it. It is not the laundry room. Dirty, stinky, no TV, no decent utensils to eat with and well I think you get the picture. Do not recommend. But the hotel I found was Amazing!!!!! at an amazing price. Like I said, Buyer beware. Not worth your hard earned money!!!!!1
