The location is great and since we were traveling with our two dogs, which the owner was kind enough to let us bring, and had a tight schedule we didn't contact the owner about the following issues, therefore they did not have an opportunity to address them. First, the interior of the building smells like a cat litter box, and you can slightly smell it even once closed in the apartment. I understand the owner has no control over his neighbors apartments, but as a potential renter I would want to know about this, especially if you are sensitive to smells. The appliances did not have any instructions and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. It seemed like they started to run the dishwasher and then something happened and it cut off before finishing. This wasn't a big deal to us since we weren't planning on using the dishes or utensils during our stay, but we would have thought the dishwasher would have been emptied prior to our check in. The drawers in the kitchen had random junk in them and the dresser drawers had glass balls in them or did not have bottoms so they were unusable. The mini fridge was dirty and needed to be defrosted. The bed was comfortable, but most of the other furniture in the room was cheap and flimsy. The location was nice, safe neighborhood, street parking was easy, and there are several local restaurants and breweries within walking distance. As I said at the beginning, we were traveling with our two dogs and the location of this apartment was perfect for our weekend plans, very close to the ferry to lower Manhattan, and we didn't contact the owner about our issues so they didn't have a chance to address them.
