Overall, our stay was okay. However, we would definitely not be staying here again and would rather spend extra on another place.
Location- This was really good because of the close proximity to Times Square, Subway and a variety of other facilities.
Host-Jason was polite and responded to all our messages.
Entrance to the accommodation-The hallway had a very unpleasant smell and looked dirty. The building has no elevator, but the flat was after two small flights of stairs.
The door to the apartment was a bit tricky to unlock.
Apartment- This was smaller than the impression the pictures gave us. However, it was clean, the bed was comfortable and there were WiFi and Roku TV which both worked.
There was no microwave which was an inconvenience.
Bathroom- Cleanliness was okay. However, the bathroom was very small, water spills easily onto the floor and anyone bigger than an average sized person would struggle.
Noise- There was a constant drilling noise that came on around 7am and lasted for most of the day which was very annoying. Apparently, it had to do with ongoing construction work which we were unaware of until after check-in.
There was no sound insulation in the apartment which meant that we could clearly hear the cars and people on the street.
The apartment is directly above a pub and the music from it can be heard from the apartment. We were also able to smell the cigarette smoke from outside the pub.
There was a constant draft coming into the flat which meant it was cold.
