We have very mixed feelings about our stay at Jorge's place. On the positive side, the location is great, the interior is nice, and the AC worked well during a scorching week in NYC. It's only a few blocks to several subway lines that will take you anywhere you'd want to go in Manhattan and walking distance to the High Line, Chelsea Market, and the Little Island. Jorge also sent over some great recommendations of where to eat, what to do, and how to get around.
Unfortunately several issues came up that I'd never experienced at an Airbnb before. First, the WiFi was out when we arrived. We had to set up a time with Jorge for a Spectrum rep to come to the unit and fix the internet. The issue was caused by ongoing construction outside the building, which wasn't disclosed in the listing and would have affected my choice whether to book. On another day and with only a day's notice, we had to let some of the construction crew into the unit for a short time while we were gone.
The bed was sunken in the center when we arrived. The slats had been slid to the top and bottom and the center legs had fallen off. So I had to do some home repair just after arriving so we could have a functioning bed. I'm not sure how this wasn't noticed before our stay.
Lastly, the shower drained extremely slowly and took forever to heat up, so showers were spent in a pool of water. When it finished draining, it left residue behind.
Jorge was very responsive and attentive whenever we reached out over Airbnb, but given everything we encountered, I'm not sure I could recommend this unit over another, or over a hotel room.
