Pros:
- Host is responsive
- The bathroom is decently sized
- Location is 5 min walk away from 72nd St train station
Cons:
- You live right above a bar so it gets loud
- Fridge constantly made a loud buzzing noise
- There we’re a lot of cosmetic issues; broken towel rack, broken microwave handle
- Bed was really uncomfortable and extremely squeaky
The worst of all was that I unfortunately lived underneath a unit with squeaky floorboards & the people staying above us would constantly drop heavy objects & walk around throughout the night (been woken up at 4am several nights). I’m normally a deep sleeper & can sleep through noise, but this was unbearable.
We complained to Ignacio, and he was kind to let them know but nothing changed. We also asked to switch to a new room, to which Ignacio said we could check out when it opens up, but he failed to follow up with us afterwards.
The place is what you expect - very small & overpriced. These two factors can typically be overlooked because location is prime & you can’t expect much for an apt in the city. I stayed at the place for over a month, so if you’re looking for a short term stay, these things might not be an issue. Just beware that if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to look elsewhere.
