Overall this stay was worth the money and the host was very responsive throughout our stay, getting us things as we needed or were missing from what was described in the listing. It is super convenient to be able to walk down the block and get on the subway to hit most places in Manhattan.
Check in was the least smooth process I've ever experienced with Airbnb. 2 days before our arrival I asked for the address to the location and was told they could not give it for privacy reasons but that it would be provided day of. Day of, we were told it would be provided when we were "15 minutes away." The person on site ended up giving us an incorrect address and we waited outside in the rain as he went between different buildings trying to identify the correct apartment.
We were also unfortunately there during the 'arctic freeze' and the building ended up shutting off the heat at the request of the power company. The interior temperate was 50F but the host provided space heaters which helped.
