Great location in lively Upper East Side with proximity to Central Park. Very good sofa bed, and quiet house despite being on a major street. Good subway service nearby, and lots of places to eat or shop. I had a great time given my travel experience, but would not recommend for everyone.
There is very little/no privacy as the bed is in a hall beside the main door and kitchen, and only covered partially by a thin curtain. There's also a lot of people coming in and out of the place, some of them quite late at night, which can lead to a lot of light and noise when you're sleeping. Additionally, there is only 1 bathroom, and I often had to wait to use it in the morning when everyone is waking up and showering (there were often 5 people in the apartment at once). Some people clearly did not care about house rules and left the kitchen and bathroom messy, which the host thankfully cleaned pretty often. Lastly, there were some basic appliances, like a toaster and pans, missing. I would compare this to living in a college house, which I personally didn't mind, but would not recommend to everyone.
