First, the positive things. This is a very large space (at least for NYC) in a great neighborhood. The rooftop terrace is wonderful, as is the primary bedroom. The terrace would be especially nice during good weather (which we had during our stay) for eating dinner or having a glass of wine. Access from the building to things like the FDR as well as many transit options was quite good. It was very easy to get around on public transit from this location, and the surrounding neighborhood was very walkable with coffee shops, restaurants, etc close by. Central park is just a few blocks away, and the location was excellent for being able to go run there in the morning.
With all that said, the home was not as well appointed as it being "new" might suggest. It seemed that the host had not taken care of basic things like ensuring there was sufficient silverware, having dishwasher detergent or handsoap at the kitchen sink, or including shampoo/conditioner/shower gel in the bathrooms. The response to addressing just the dishwasher detergent required multiple follow-ups from my end, and it took two days to get resolved. Finally, for those that might have issues with noise, though this is on the sixth floor and was recently redone, the windows and window frames are either very old or original. The result is that you can hear street-level noise very easily from the downstairs bedrooms. Everyone had to sleep with noise-canceling headphones one of the nights during out stay to get to sleep. The noise levels themselves are obviously NOT the fault of the host, but with the building being advertised as new, I would have expected a little more attention to have been paid to the home being even a little quieter.
To be clear, the home was clean, the building and neighborhood felt safe, and it was a convenient way to house 6 people at the same location. That said, for the price, I would have expected the home to be more appointed with the basics and for the host to have been more attentive and responsive.
