I enjoyed my stay! The description is as says (it's essentially a hostel-style airbnb, with around 7-8 rotating people in the apartment), but I actually enjoyed the environment! Everyone I stayed with was very friendly. If you're just looking for a place to sleep and shower in NYC, you can't beat the value and the location!
If I may, I did have a few recommendations for the hosts:
-What the post doesn't say is that the posting is run by multiple people. My host was actually Ikbal, not Mir (who was great by the way! Very friendly host). I just wished they mentioned that in the posting. As a guest, I prefer to keep my communication through Airbnb for safety/liability reasons, and I wish there was more transparency in the beginning or better communication through Airbnb rather than through text/phone.
-There's only one bathroom (which didn't bother me), and everyone has their own towel, but there's nowhere to put that towel. If there were towel racks in each bedroom (like cheap ones from Target or Ikea), that would go a long way!
-The posting says the place has air conditioning, but this is not the case. It didn't bother me, but as a warning to anyone coming during peak summertime.
-Since this essentially a "hostel" - like room, it would be nice if there were lockers/safes for valuables for each guest, since there is a high volume of guests that are constantly shifting (even during my short stay there).
