Three others and I stayed here when visiting New York City. The apartment is nice overall, but the advertisements can be misleading. The stairs to the basement are very, very steep, of which we were unaware. It prevented three of the four guests from going downstairs. If you have any issues with stairs or leg strength, you may need to utilize the couch or air mattress. We saw a rat on the back patio and various traps throughout the apartment, which we were not expecting or informed of before staying. The toilet upstairs had continuous issues flushing, and we were told to reconnect the chain by putting our hands in the tank. A neighbor was sent to fix it, but it continued to disconnect. When asked about a partial refund, we were told that we could not receive a refund for something she had thought she fixed, even though she told us to reconnect the chain when it disconnects. The mattresses downstairs were covered in stains. Overall, the trip was great and the apartment is nice, but there were numerous issues that added up throughout the trip.
