If you are staying in NYC for a day or so and just need a place to rest, it’s great. The location is fantastic, it’s a really easy check-in checkout situation, and the apartment was clean and air conditioned.
However, if you plan on going to NYC for a longer stay I don’t know if I would recommend it. There is close to nothing in terms of amenities, all the cutlery and crockery was single use plastic. The toilet and shower both work fine, the fridge/freezer is sizeable and works well, but there was no ice cube tray, there’s a coffee percolator but no filters. We were only provided with one set of towels and sheets for our 9 day stay and at no point were we offered more. There is a very very strong smell of cigarette smoke in the building and also in the apartment. The lock is difficult, and we had issues locking up on the first day. The only lighting is a very bright overhead light, so it’s either blinding or darkness. The air conditioner worked very well and the bed was comfortable. While we stayed there we saw two cockroaches. The one bin provided is very small, and the chairs to the small table are quite uncomfortable. There was a rack to hang clothes but no clothes hangers??? I basically didn’t unpack for our whole stay as there was nowhere to put anything.
In short, if you don’t want to have somewhere to stay that you’ll want to hang out in, and just need a bed a shower a toilet a kitchen and an air conditioner, it’s fine. However my husband and I found it overpriced for what was provided.
