Pros - the house was super clean and by New York City standards it was roomy enough for my family of four - two adults and two young children. The location was perfect for what we wanted and now with the second avenue subway it is super convenient not having to walk all the way to the 6. It’s only one flight up so no problem not having an elevator. Also, the people in the building were all nice and friendly to us. We are most of our meals out but the kitchen was definitely equipped enough for us to be able to make the kids breakfast every morning without needing to buy any equipment.
Cons - the apartment is definitely bare bones. There’s no TV so keep that in mind if you need that. But the biggest problem was we came in a freezing week in april and there was no heat. It was absolutely freezing and the one tiny space heater did nothing to help. We contacted the host who was very apologetic but ultimately did not solve the problem. I just feel like for the amount of money we paid per night we should have had at least our basic needs met. If you plan on staying here especially during winter months just make sure that problem is solved!
