The location of this place is great, very close to the Subway and other things to do near the Empire State Building. However the room itself is quite dirty with rust and dirt in the bathroom, mask policies are not enforced (including the front desk attendants and residents), the room and hallways REEK of weed and cigarette smoke despite the building being “non-smoking.” Tenants are extremely loud, screaming and stomping on the floors above until 4 or 5am each night. The heater is not controllable and there is no AC in the apartment. If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay in Manhattan, this is good, but you get what you pay for. Definitely not kid-friendly. The host is slow to respond and won’t provide you with amenities that are needed or there will be a long delay in getting them.
